A Fowl Hobby

I was watching NECN's Secret Life of Animals Sunday when they were talking about how popular raising chickens in one's backyard has become. This caught my attention because two of my neighbors began raising chickens this year, a co-worker is currently raising chickens, and another one wants to. Stories are popping up everywhere about"urban farms". If you would like to start your own chicken flock in your backyard be sure to check some of our books on the topic.
