      Introduction

      One of the biggest trends that is going on for many families right now is the idea of self-sufficiency. Some families are tired of paying the high prices when they go to the grocery store each month while others are worried that there will be a huge food shortage due to government interference or a natural disaster sometimes in the near future and they want to be prepared. While there are several things that you can do to start out on this self-sufficiency lifestyle, raising chickens is probably one of the easiest, as well as most fun, methods that you can use to take care of everything.

      This guidebook is going to help you learn how to get started with raising your own chickens from home. This can actually be a really affordable process; you simply need to either build your own coop or purchase one, find some good pellet food, and purchase the chickens. The upfront costs may be a bit higher, but considering the chickens don’t eat much food, the coop can be reused, and you can hatch your own chickens so as to never have to purchase them again, this quickly becomes affordable.

      These are just a few things that are going to be discussed in this guidebook. In addition to picking out the right breed of chicken for your needs and getting the coop set up, we are going to take some time to look at the different foods that you can feed your chicken, what is considered normal behavior in a chicken, how to avoid many common health and social problems with your chickens, how to make money from raising chickens in your backyard, and even how to really benefit from all this hard work by using the eggs and meat for food.

      Raising chickens can be one of the most rewarding experiences in your life. They are really easy to take care of as long as you provide them with the right nutrition and a space to fall asleep at night, and you will not have to spend a lot of money on getting it all set up. But for all the joy and bonding experience that you will be able to share with your children over raising the chickens and the great high quality eggs and meat that can now be put on your table, this is definitely a process that you should consider. Use this guidebook to learn everything that you need to know in order to get started on the right path to beginning your own chicken farm in your backyard.

      Chapter 1: The Basics of Raising Chickens in Your Backyard

      Have you ever dreamed about being self-sufficient and being able to take care of your own needs from your own backyard? Do you like the idea of fresh eggs in the morning, being in control of some of your own food supply, or even to have a
