Publisher's Summary

Discover the best addition to your homesteading plan that can be easily done by anyone

Are you living in a city but crave for a more natural lifestyle?

Have you been raised on a farm and look back nostalgically at delicious fresh food you had regularly?

Do you want to live more self-sufficiently and self-sustainably?

It can be difficult to add a new hobby to your daily routine...considering how stressful and busy life in a city already feels like.

Even so, chicken owners have risen by a whooping 70 percent since 2016 in the US, according to the Poultry Science Association Inc.

Now I know what you’re thinking, but there is no catch to it!

Considering the many benefits of raising a small flock of chickens, this significant increase is not surprising. And this number will keep going up.

Whether you do it for the fresh, delicious, and affordable eggs...or for living more self-sustainably, in harmony with nature and her animals...or just for the pure entertainment of watching chickens go about their day (they far surpass soap operas on TV and the cheesy posts on your Instagram feed)...you’re in for an exciting, low stress experience with many life lessons for you and your family.

Discover how to walk the first steps from buying your first chicks to keeping your flock happy with this straightforward guide.
