Backyard Poultry Naturally by Alanna Moore.
I read this book before I got my chooks and it was the one that cemented my desire to have chickens of my own. The practical advice contained in the book is really helpful and made the idea of having chooks more appealing as it didn’t seem like a hard thing to do.
You will find advice about everything from housing and feeding, to caring for young chicks and looking after sick and injured birds. Highly recommended to anyone who has chickens or is considering getting some!
City Chicks by Patricia L Foreman
Another really great source of information for anyone who is interested in keeping chickens and learning how to make the best use of a home/backyard flock of chickens for everything from composting, pest and weed control in the garden, to providing meat, eggs and entertainment for the entire family. I loved the anecdotes the author includes about individual hens from her flock and how one of them has become an ambassador for backyard chicken flocks in the United States. It’s a great book. Highly recommended!
