What is Chickens in Your Backyard : a Beginner's Guide about?

<p><P><i>CHICKENS IN YOUR BACKYARD</i><p><i>A BEGINNER'S GUIDE</i><p>Rick and Gail Luttmann<P>Your backyard can be the source of the best eggs and meat you've ever tasted. The answer is chickens&#151; endearing birds that require but a modest outlay of time, space and food.<P>As they learned to raise chickens, Gail and Rick Luttmann came to realize the need for a comprehensive but clear and nontechnical guide. Their book covers all the basics in a light and entertaining sytle, from housing and feeding through incubating, bringing up chicks, butchering, and raising chickens for show.<P>Througout the book, the Luttmanns express their wonder at the personalities of chickens&#151; the role of brash protector played by roosters, and the instinctive motherliness of the hens. Given some freedom and attention, these birds can become much more than the egg-and-meat machines of commercial hatcheries and broiler factories. Chickens provide backyard farmers with enjoyable pastime, as well as a supply of good food.</p>
