Description

As people have become more concerned and informed about the ways in which their food is produced, processed, preserved, packaged and presented to them on shop shelves, many have made the decision either to buy certified organic, free-range and ethically produced produce or to 'grow their own', and this includes keeping poultry. Not only does this activity reduce the individual or family's carbon footprint, but it also makes for a healthy way of life.


This handy guide will take you through all aspects of chicken-keeping, from choosing breeds to feeding, from caring for chicks to preventing ailments and from housing to equipment needs.
