Publisher's summary

Fresh eggs, tasty meat, and the joy of watching life develop in your own backyard...Why wouldn't you keep chickens?

Ninety-three percent of the most densely populated cities in the US allow backyard chicken rearing, and the number of households choosing to rear their own hens grows year after year.

It’s little wonder, when you consider the benefits: Once you’ve tasted eggs from your own coop, you’ll never want a store-bought egg again...especially when you learn how much healthier they are.

Did you know, for instance, that backyard eggs contain approximately 20 times as much omega-3 as factory farmed eggs? They also contain about 25 percent more Vitamin E...

Raising chickens comes with surprising benefits for the whole family, from encouraging healthier living, to entertaining the kids, to fertilizing the garden. What’s more, it’s refreshingly easy to do, and once you know the ins and outs, chickens are surprisingly low maintenance.

Jack Snyder is an experienced chicken raiser and has built up a wealth of knowledge that makes chicken rearing a doddle - even for a novice.
