Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The image of a backyard flock is one of peaceful, rustic charm: a basket of warm, colorful eggs and the gentle clucking of hens on a sunny morning. But behind this idyllic picture lies a world of hidden labor, surprising expense, and unwavering commitment that social media rarely shows. What is the true cost of those 'free' eggs, and what does the daily reality of chicken keeping actually demand Author Claire Dawson pulls back the curtain on the fantasy to deliver a clear-eyed, comprehensive guide for aspiring poultry keepers. This book moves beyond pretty pictures to tackle the tough questions, detailing everything from building a predator-proof coop and managing a budget to the unglamorous work of manure management and navigating local zoning laws. It provides a practical framework, like the 'Daily Time Ledger,' to help you realistically plan your time and resources.With vivid, accessible prose, Dawson also explores the profound emotional side of animal husbandry, including the difficult but necessary topics of palliative care for aging birds and humane end-of-life decisions.

By the final chapter, you will understand the real work, and the deep rewards, of raising a healthy backyard flock.…
