I’ve always liked the idea of having chickens and this audiobook is a great confidence boost if you’re starting from scratch.

The content itself covers everything you’d want as a beginner. It walks through coop basics, how to keep the hens safe, what to feed them, and how to spot if something’s wrong. There’s a good section on illness and what to do about it, and I found the part on adding new hens really useful - as well as the detail around common mistakes. There are a few things I would have completely messed up.

Honestly, even if you just listen to get a feel for what’s involved, it’s worth it for the narration alone which I thoroughly enjoyed!

An excellent listen all round.

Great listen and loads of excellent information

This audiobook would have saved me a lot of stress if I had found it earlier. It covers everything a beginner needs to know, including tips I learned the hard way—like checking local city codes before getting started. I once lost a chicken to my own mistake by not securing the coop well enough, something this guide explains clearly how to avoid. The section about feather shedding and how to care for and protect your flock was insightful. The tone is friendly and easy to follow, and the advice is practical from coop setup to keeping hens happy and safe. A great resource for anyone thinking of starting their own backyard flock.
