Originally the reluctant spouse "who has assumed the mental equivalent of a three year old laying limp on the floor", Andrew Ayers soon learned to embrace chicken-keeping.  This ebook is a fun glimpse into the life of his flock as they grew from chicks to layers.I've kept chickens for several years, and I still found some intriguing tips in this ebook, such as watering down deep bedding if you live in a desert climate, or making your own chicken feed out of rice and beans.  The descriptions of the breeds Ayers tried (from the sweet Orpingtons, to the Welsummers "bitches") were handy, and the whole book was easy to read and full of humor.  Highly recommended to beginners and advanced chicken-keepers alike.
