I am going to be putting together a wonderful "Chicken Lover's" raffle basket for the Parsonfield Chickenstock, containing tons of chicken goodies, including 1 dozen hatching eggs from me, which will be Brabanters and Russian Orloffs, 3 brand new books, Skinny Chicken by Erica Klein, Eggs By Michael Roux and Tah dah!
The Joy of Keeping Chickens
The Joy of Keeping Chickens The Ultimate Guide to Raising Poultry for Fun
by Megyesi, Jennifer
Description:
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 best 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.
No chicken book would be complete without info on how to show chickens for prizes, and this is no different, but it stresses the importance of self-sustainability and organic living, and the satisfaction of keeping heirloom breeds. Readers will appreciate the comprehensive nature of this readable, informative guide, and Megyesi's enthusiasm about keeping chickens. Coupled with Geoff Hansen's gorgeous full-color photos, this text makes for an instant classic.
I will be adding lots of chicken related goodies, and maybe waterfowl too-I will keep the tickets "Cheep Cheep Cheep!"for all who attend.
I put together lot's of fundraiser/ auction baskets for the Woburn Public Library when I worked there, and l do a good job and have a lot of fun!
