And customers tell them that the advice they most appreciate is actually how not to raise chickens, what not to do, and why not to panic.The handbook helps potential chicken owners decide whether chicken keeping is right for them, how to make the best choices for their situations, how to start planning for the new pets, and--most importantly--how to head off potential trouble before the chicks arrive. Detailed care instructions for baby chicks and mature hens help to ensure a friendly and enjoyable flock. Covering both the good and the "oh no" experiences that beginners and avid backyard farmers experience, topics include choosing coops, planning a daily routine, learning about sanitation practices, and discovering signs of distress. Then the joy of chicken keeping comes full "ovoid" with 50 recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, featuring the incredible and versatile egg, from homemade egg noodles and sesame mayonnaise to a vegetable frittata and caramel custard"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 636.51 Lu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.51 Lu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.51 Lu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.51 Lu missing from shelf Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 636.51 Lu Checked In Add Copy to MyList
