This is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of chicken care — feeding, housing, and healthcare. This fourth edition has been revised from the ground-up, in full color, designed to be more accessible and contain all the info the beginner and the seasoned farmer might need. It will cover everything from the chicken house or the coop, managing the fowls’ health, their eggs and chicks, harvesting them for meat and present the research into chicken behavior and communication to understand flock management techniques. One of the parts that has been expanded upon greatly are the guides to different chicken breeds, more detailed anatomy guides, and tips for their health.
