Doing anything for the first time can be intimidating - and the stakes are even higher when your new hobby involves being responsible for something that’s, well, alive.

Spending time with them after work will help you immediately relax and refocus on what truly matters in life.

Rasing chickens made easy

I've been interested in raising chickens for a long time and have researched many books on the subject. This book is the most complete resource that I've come across. It includes a free ebook which is helpful as a visual reference. There are so many tips that I had to listen to multiple times to absorb all of the information. The audiobook goes into depth on different kinds of chickens and selects roosters for the most significant yield. The practical tips include building a roost, keeping the temperature consistent, and many other situations I had not thought of. This is well worth your time and money. You will not go wrong if you want to raise chickens and do not know where to start getting this audiobook.

Very informative

The author has done an amazing job in putting this audiobook together. My sister is raising new chickens and I got this for her as I felt it would be beneficial for her in providing all the info she would need to giving her chickens the best upbringing. The audiobook is broken down into simple, easy to follow chapters and teaches beginners how to prepare, feed and have a routine on raising healthy chickens.

This is a must have audiobook

I learned so much about how to raise my own chickens! I have 2 so far, and it has been a process of getting them not to smell, which helped me so much. Now their coop isn't smelly, and they are much healthier and happier.

Great tips for raising chickens

This was a detailed guide with good tips on what basic tools you can use to ensure that your flock stays healthy. I thought it would require a lot of money to raise chickens but this guide really breaks the process down in a way that shows you how to start small.
