Publications / Forthcoming Books / Guides for Kids, By Kids! Poultry Keeping
This is our first guide in our new series of Guides for Kids, By Kids! and is aimed at the growing number of children who are keeping chickens as a hobby. With frank accounts of the ‘Bore Chores,’ it details acessories - what you really need and what are just nice to have, housing, hygeine, animal welfare, how to handle your birds, their behaviour and the importance of observation, when to get help and an easy to follow simple diagnostic guide, what to ask the vet, feeding and routine, breeding (both natural and artificial) showing your bird. Finally it covers whether your hobby could become a business - do you name your birds, do you get attached and can you sell your produce. AVAILABLE MAY 2011
