Informative
We gave up on chickens because of how expensive feeding them got. But this book has given me hope, and I will use it to convince my mom to try it again. I love how the author provided all the pertinent details, including things we overlooked like the space the chickens needed. It will take time to get this off the ground, but having this guide will make it easier compared to searching a whole host of articles on the internet.
This is a great companion for the next attempt, and I can't wait to see how it turns out.
