Your practical, beginner-friendly guide to enjoying a sustainable lifestyle by raising chickens in your own backyardTired of relying on the supermarket every time you run out of eggs?

Do you want to raise chickens of your own but are completely lost on where to begin?

Do you want to not only raise chickens, but also get access to farm-fresh eggs right from your backyard without spending a fortune?

In the US alone, the trend of raising backyard chickens has been on the rise in the last 5 years.

According to The Washington Post, an average American eats 279 eggs per year. This alone has contributed to a 50-year high in egg sales.

However, horrified by what goes on in commercial production, many Americans are moving towards raising backyard chickens for a healthy source of eggs and poultry.

But there is more to a chicken than meets the eye.

These social birds make for excellent pets-they love being around humans and are great for kids as well.

Your flock also frees you from the trouble of sweeping your backyard for weeds, bugs, and pests as chickens are natural pest killers.

The best part? You can sell the surplus eggs at your local market. This makes raising chickens a cheap and lucrative craft.

You may think it all seems great... but how do you even begin? It's not like you bring chickens home one fine evening and they'll start laying eggs for you.

Don't worry, raising chickens in your backyard is not rocket science-even you can do it!
