Finally backyard farmers who want to keep a few hens for eggs have a bible that's attractive enough to leave out on the coffee table and inexpensive enough to purchase on a whim. This comprehensive guide, written in charming prose from the perspective of an organic farmer, will appeal to readers who are interested in raising chickens or simply want the better knowledge about how to cook them. With this in mind, farmer and animal expert Jennifer Megyesi discusses all the basic details of raising the birds? General biology, health, food, choosing breeds and so on? and she cuts through the smoke to identify what terms like "organic" "free-range" and so on really mean for poultry farmers and consumers.
