About this listen

Bring the dream of country living to your backyard with a flock of chirpy, egg-laying, and family-friendly chickens!

Every crisis, from the Great Depression to World Wars and pandemics, underscores the need for self-sufficiency. Last year, CNBC reported a 70% increase in egg costs. Raising chickens emerges as a cost-effective solution.

But it’s not as simple as buying a couple of chickens and chucking them in your garden. Chickens are prone to disease and illnesses, posing risks to your family's health.

So what has turned approximately 10 million people to the love of raising chickens?

Aside from fresh eggs on an almost daily basis, chickens have wonderful personalities, they can significantly help out in the garden, you have your own free-range fertilizer, and they are extremely educational for all the family!

The benefits of raising chickens far outweigh the potential negatives, especially if you know exactly what you are doing from someone who has had a lifetime of experience.

In this guide to raising backyard chickens you will discover:

  • Top-rated chicken breeds for backyards
  • 7 crucial considerations before owning chickens
  • Setup and maintenance cost breakdowns
  • Ideal coop materials and plans
  • Chickens' nutritional needs and health concerns
  • Printable planners to keep track of feed, maintenance, and care so that your chickens receive all the attention they need to be active and happy

And much more.

By following logical steps, you can have fresh eggs, a clean home, and happy neighbors in just 10 minutes a day!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great for Beginners

I really like all the simple instructions included in this audiobook. I have wanted chickens for a while and appreciate how after listening to this book, I am better prepared to choose which chickens we will get and how to take care of them. I also like that this audiobook came with a 38-page PDF that you can print pages to track the Flock details, expenses, and egg production. There are simple plans to follow for coops to build, as well as pictures of the different chickens that you might be able to choose from. This is a great tool for anyone wanting to start raising chickens.

Loved this book. Loved the narration.
I have learned so much from this book from finding the best breed to where you can sell/donate the eggs. It's full of little gems that can be easily overlooked, yet, are important for the chicken-raising process, like the comfort of your chickens, growing roosters versus hens, understanding chickens' health, and much more.
