Little Farm in the Henhouse brings you the joys and challenges of keeping a backyard flock of laying hens--with tips and techniques for healthy, happy chickens!
This engaging memoir of nature, wildlife, and most of all, chicken-caring, follows a midlife couple's hen adventures in the Foothills of the Cascade Mountains. When city girl Susan moves out to the country to start a homestead, getting a few hens seems like a great idea. Problem: what little she knew about farm animals was what she read in books.
Still, Susan and her husband John are big on self-reliance, so they forge ahead with their plan for keeping chickens...despite the learning curve. And what an eye-opener it is! Once they bring six pullets to their wooded acreage, on the fly, Susan and John must figure out chicken care, habits, and especially chicken protection.
In this 4th book of the Little Farm homesteading series, you'll discover the magic of different chicken personalities, and the teachable moments of raising hens in the middle of the woods. Whether you already have a flock of "girls" or or thinking of getting one, you'll discover lots of practical tips and best practices for keeping chickens healthy and content--and a whole lot of what not to do!
Yet caring for hens in a remote area is not all sweetness and light... Along with many joys, Susan and John experience many sorrows as well. Yet in these irresistible chicken tales, you may discover that hens don't simply provide eggs--they may give you a deeper appreciation for all living creatures.
