Raising Chickens for Beginners

Achieve self-sufficient egg and meat production with this complete crash course.

Keeping hens in your backyard is a rewarding hobby for a variety of reasons. The eggs are a delectable temptation, they are tastier and more fresh than any eggs that can be purchased in a supermarket, and they are also superior for use in baking. Toss the shells and the chicken manure straight into the compost pile. There is no need to separate them. The birds amuse themselves for the better part of the day by eating grass, worms, beetles, and other tasty things that are necessary for the production of those delicious farm eggs. In addition to this, chickens are wonderful friends for gardeners because they have a keen eye for bug infestations.
