Raising Chickens
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
This Wikibook is intended for small scale raising of chickens often referred to as "Hobby Farming". Raising chickens can be very entertaining. They also make a good environmentally friendly way of disposing of organic waste; there is very little that a chicken won't eat. Chickens are flock birds and you'll probably get more than one.
Since this is a Wikibook editing is allowed and indeed encouraged. If you don't feel comfortable about editing but would still like to contribute please see the discussion page for this book.
