Chickens at the Door: A Family's Life With Chickens
Chicken raising is growing in popularity, as more people are attracted to its many benefits. Besides raising chickens for eggs, chickens are friendly creatures who will not only recycle household left-overs, but act as insect control as well. While there are many reference books on chicken raising, there aren't as many first-hand experiences. Author Linda Bartash-Dawley shares over five years of experiences raising the family flock. This book tells her family stories of raising chickens from chick stage to mature hen. The author clears up some common myths about roosters and offers some valuable insights on their importance to a flock. She also shares some lighthearted stories about these lovable creatures. Did you know that sometimes hens will lay eggs on top of another hen? Or that they will follow you into the house if you leave the door open? And what exactly is the author's chicken tree? The darker side of raising chickens is the dangers of predators, which the author addresses. A clump of feathers and a hiding flock can both signal tragedies. However, a flock is always changing and resilient. This book is both amusing and sad, as the author sheds a different light on this popular subject.
