Hi, I am Kate, and I have always loved chickens. My community has just started allowing backyard hens! There are hoops to jump through, but my plan is to have birds in the yard next spring. I am here to learn as much as I can before then. I am very concerned about predators, we have bears, skunks, raccoons, coyote and owls. If I was to buy one book to use as reference, what would you recommend?
 
Welcome to BYC! and the start of your chicken adventure!
My all time favorite chicken book, one that I started out with and read over and over as a reference us called "Chickens In Your Backyard" by Rick and Gail Luttman. All the beginner stuff is in there written with alot of humor and information about the most common questions and problems you will likely encounter.
Good Luck!

Hello! Welcome to BYC! I would recommend Stories Guide To Raising Chickens by: Gail Damero. Very informative and in depth!
