Since moving to the country, I've often thought about getting some chickens to handle my insect problem. I jumped at the chance to review this book since I was already considering building a chicken coop. This book is very complete. I didn't need prior knowledge to dive in. After listening to the book, I was inspired to get my first chicken. I named her Lucy. I also plan to get a rooster, which I will call Ricky. Now, I need to keep the dog away from her. Highly recommended for anyone who is even thinking about getting chickens.

I see chickens in my yard!
