Really interesting

I'm moving to the country soon, and I plan to raise chickens among other self-sustaining initiatives. I'm glad I listened to this book before I started, otherwise I would have made a lot of mistakes. Very detailed advice was really useful, like the breed of chickens to buy and whether to build or buy a coop. Thoroughly recommend.
