"Hey City Girl, you got a heat lamp for raising those baby chicks?"

in Farm Animals

I wasn't sure at first he was talking to me, that old farmer who'd just sold me 20 day old chickens, and whom I was walking away, from...

"A heat lamp for raising chickens? You mean I can't just..."

That's how it all started.

My education in raising chickens.

At the time I didn't know there were so many tricks and tips to raising a bunch of meat birds on a little farm - and I was pretty certain that I wasn't a 'City Girl' anymore, but apparently I still had that air about me - the farmer saw right through it.

So I did what I always do when I need to learn how to do something new, correctly...

• I read a pile of books on raising chickens!
• Then I surfed the web for hours in forums and countless websites. (Many of which made me wonder "Have these people ever raised a chicken?")
• And then I checked my newly gained knowledge with some local home grown chicken producers. "Always take advice from someone who's done it successfully," my dad said.

You know what I found out about raising chickens?

More people like to talk about (or write on the web about) raising chickens then actually doing it.

And most of my time spent learning about this domestic animal through books and forums was wasted.

There's only one good way to raise chickens. Learn precisely what you need to know and then get right down to actually doing it. 

After a few years of my own accumulated knowledge (and answering other people's questions both online and here in the real world) I decided to help others get started raising their own chickens.

The fast way. The easy way. The right way.

For me, the right way is the least expensive, most rewarding, with minimal time wasted. After all, I just wanted to put healthy food on the table for my family - I didn't want to go into mass production or become a veterinarian!

So I put my writing skills and farm experience to the test and wrote one of my first concise, no nonsense, country living books. I then checked the content against the books on my shelf. And then I asked a few chicken owners to review it.

That was 8 years ago. Hundreds of copies have sold and (so far) every customer has been pleased as punch.

Remember - no fluff, no filler. I don't believe in wasting your time or mine.

Remember - inexpensively. I priced the book within everyone's reach. $9.

Remember - most rewarding. Keeping your chickens safe, happy and healthy makes raising them a joy.

The book "Raising Chickens Right" used to sell on this website, but in an effort to simplify life further I have moved the sales, marketing and distribution tasks to a specialty website. But I didn't raise the price a penny!
