Whether you're a grizzled veteran of backyard chick farming, a novice or someone who has never considered raising chickens in your backyard or anywhere else, this book is for you. I never considered raising chickens until my wife talked me into it. A decision I suspect she deeply regrets. I'm not sure how many chickens I have. Each night when they are roosting, I tried counting them, but the number keeps changing. When it goes down, I figure its either predators or they ran off to make chicken music videos in Hollywood. When the number goes up I figure whoever ran off is back. Either that or I'm just bad at counting. Fortunately, you don't have to be a math wiz to raise chickens. If you're considering raising a few chickens I have included in this book the bare-bones basics. I don't consider myself an expert, but if I tried to put down everything I know then this book would be less entertaining. Besides, nobody knows everything about chickens. Besides, besides, nobody likes a know-it-all. With chickens as with most things, you can learn by doing. One's reach should exceed your grasp, or what else is the internet for?
