People have never been more obsessed with the quality of their food. We are constantly bombarded with stories about damaging drugs, pesticides, and chemicals found in the food we consume every day - from vegetables to meat and everything in between. Poultry meat, and especially chicken, has been heavily analyzed, and the results were defeating. It turns out, most chicken farms use a lot of antibiotics and other drugs to stimulate growth, fatten the animals up, and ultimately make more profit.

Beekeeping is an old practice that even the ancient Egyptians liked to do. In essence, beekeeping really means nurturing and supporting adult bee populations that produce honey and other bee products such as beeswax or royal jelly. Beekeeping can be extremely rewarding as a hobby, and there’s nothing quite so delicious as homegrown honey. But you should also keep in mind that beekeeping is no walk in the park - you need all the help you can get.

Summary
Learn how to raise healthy chickens.
When starting a backyard chicken coop, one of the first decisions you'll have to make is which breed of chicken you will raise. Each breed has specific characteristics and can be used for different purposes. In general, though, chicken breeds break down into three groups: egg layers, meat chickens, and dual-purpose chickens.
Egg layers produce both a nice quantity and quality of egg. Egg color can also be a factor here. Despite what you have seen in the market, not all chicken eggs are white or brown! Some chickens lay blue, green, or pink eggs which may be less desirable.
The Leghorn chicken is the best egg-layer that is commonly used by beginners. A mature hen can lay up to 280 eggs in one year. The eggs are large, and white to off-white in color. Leghorns tend to be smaller than other backyard chickens and have a good nature suitable for a backyard flock. Many commercial farms use the Leghorn as their egg layer of choice.
What you are going to learn in this book:
- What are the best backyard chicken breeds?
- Should you raise meat chickens?
- Introducing new chickens to your existing flock
- Hidden costs of raising chickens
- Problems you should expect with raising backyard chickens
Meat chickens, sometimes called fryers or broilers, are raised for the meat they can provide. If meat is what you want from your flock, then size and weight matter. Some good meat chickens, like the New Hampshire Red, can grow up to nine pounds. You'll also want to make sure the skin color and shape of the chicken breed is suitable for cooking. In general, a nice rounded chicken with yellow skin (under the feathers) is preferred.
