What came first … this book!
Great way to gather info before I got into my chicken handling life ! Learned a lot of basics and it’s going great thanks for the helpful tips !
Good Book
This book gave me ideas that I had not thought about. I grew up piddling with small scale farming, had a fairly large flock of RIR and Dominiques sun my teen years. Of course life and racing toward the next level got in the way. Now I’m back to real life again and happened across the book. Thought I knew it all, but as I’ve found out many times before there is always an idea or different technique, this book lays out quite a few.
