this was very helpful. I recommend listening to it

very knowledgeable and to the point. I recommend you listening to this book. it's worth it.

Clear and concise

Instead of reading, I listened to this book on audible. It’s a quick listen at just over an hour, yet it is packed with basic info for the beginner. I’ll definitely be referring back to it. It also comes with a set of diy coop plans to download.

great guide

I feel ready to start this new endeavor. excited to start raising companion chickens in the spring.

Great Beginner Tips for the new Chicken Penetrate

Great points for someone new to chickens or considering starting a chicken family. Recommended read.

Insightful!

If you're at all interested in raising chickens, this is a must-have. It would have helped tremendously a decade ago when I helped a friend with his hobby farm. Save yourself some woe!

Plus, the narration of Angel Clark is a huge bonus!
