When fresh eggs are needed for the
kitchen, what could be better than going out to the back yard and
collecting them, courtesy of home-bred chickens? Food simply doesn't
come any fresher, and the good news is that keeping two or three
chickens is quite easy. They don't require farmland or much special
equipment, and today's modern chicken houses are designed so that anyone
with even a little backyard space can keep chickens. The authors of this
enlightening new book offer essential advice, provide the basic,
easy-to-follow chicken-raising facts, and present their information in
clear jargon-free text. Keeping Pet Chickens is arranged as a
series of clearly-captioned pictorial spreads, each of which focuses on
a particular topic of importance to chicken owners. Topics covered
include pure breeds and hybrid chicken varieties, maintaining daily
routines, catching and handling hens, keeping chickens in good health,
and much more. Sidebars on every two-page spread present additional
information and fascinating facts about chickens and chicken raising.
Approximately 100 color photos.
