Discover a treasure trove of money-saving ideas and clever projects that keep chickens happy and families enjoying fresh eggs.
In The Thrifty Chicken Keeper, Dalia Monterroso, a.k.a. The President of Chickenlandia, offers real-life solutions to financial roadblocks and spatial constraints when it comes to raising chickens, with a focus on urban and suburban dwellers. Readers will find a variety of budget-friendly projects and ideas, from building a cardboard box brooder for chicks to cooking up healthy treats for your chickens to creating a rodent-proof enclosure full of entertainment for your flock. The book also includes down-to-earth wisdom like which breeds are the best long-term investment, how to use nature to lower your feed bill, what to do when your chickens get sick, and how to build a low-cost coop from repurposed materials.
While The Thrifty Chicken Keeper is full of advice, examples, and instructions on how to have the most wallet-friendly backyard chickens ever, it’s not your average “101 Ways To” book. It’s filled with joy, hope, heart, and a practical vision of how chicken keeping everywhere can benefit our rapidly changing world.
