About this audiobook
The chicken coop 101 for starting and raising chickens.
If you’re looking for new ideas and tips (not visual plans) on chicken coops, then this audiobook might be for you. You will be able to make better decisions by figuring out which coop design is right for you, whether you should start a chicken coop (things you might have overlooked), and much more.
This audiobook is great for someone who doesn’t know where to start.
It’s great for useful everyday chicken information.
In a nutshell, you will receive a fair share of valuable information, including:
- Suggestions for materials.
- Simple instructions, not all that complicated stuff.
- Beginners’ techniques and beginners’ mistakes.
- Save time and money by knowing what you’re doing.
- Caretaking tips for those who are starting from scratch.
- How to clean chicken coops.
- Fundamental steps on how to clean chicken coops.
- Freedom rules for safety and health.
- How to make building your own chicken coop inexpensive.
This is a fantastic little guide for new chicken farmers. It gives several different insights on coops and raising chickens, and in that way, it’s kind of a two-fold guide. For detailed plans and measurements, readers should look elsewhere, but for the newbie who is still deciding, considering, or wondering where to start, this is the best way to go.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I liked it so much that I might tune in to it in the future sometime. This is a secret jewel. This guide has helpful info. I think the first number of pages were my favorite ones, since the whole idea that the title refers to, gets discussed. All the essentials are here. Later on in the book, more depth gets added, and I think this is what makes it so great.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The difference between this book and other books, is really that this is way more enjoyable. When you're excited about something, you normally tell others about it. So, that's what I'm doing. It is basic: If you purchase this audiobook, you will certainly learn more about the topic. The championship the content, so there is no uncertainty about how legit this book is. So, here you have it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a hidden treasure. This book includes helpful info. 5 stars! Without a doubt the greatest thing that's happened to me today. I am trying to mention something bad about this audiobook, but I can't. It's simply too good. So without any more exaggeration, I simply believe everyone needs to think about listening to it.
