Summary

Keeping hens is easy. This friendly, chatty book gives you all the everyday information you need to keep your hens happy and safe. It covers all the questions you might have: How many hens to keep? What to feed them? What about a cockerel? Will they get on with the dog or destroy the vegetable patch? 

Jane Furnival shares her decade of experience with a back-garden flock, which over the years included battery rescue hens and cockerels. As you’d expect from the Queen of Thrift, Jane’s top tips include no-nonsense money-saving ideas and practical suggestions. 

This chatty guide also includes instructions on how to get rid of rats and how to build a hen house from Jane’s husband, Andy, and a new introduction and afterword by her son Will. Jane’s hilarious and heartwarming stories of life with Winchester the cockerel and his hen-pecked retinue will entertain animal lovers and inspire anyone who is thinking about keeping chickens.

An absolute gem of a book

Loved this! Gave me an education into the joys and pitfalls of keeping chickens but also a little snippet of the life of Jane Furnival. What a true gem you were. Rest in peace Jane I loved your book. ❤️

Full of Heart and Hen

From me and my sister. A gift, a privilege & an absolute joy! Thank you! We felt honoured to be apart of it. It was heartfelt, it was real and with lessons of hens and so much more!
