Little Farm in the Henhouse eBook

Little Farm in the Henhouse brings you the joys and challenges of keeping a backyard flock of laying hens--with tips and techniques for healthy, happy chickens!

When city girl Susan moves out to the country to start a homestead, getting a few hens seems like a great idea. Problem: what little she knew about farm animals was what she read in books. Still, since Susan and her husband John are big on self-reliance, they forge ahead with their plan for keeping chickens...despite the learning curve.

And what an eye-opener it is! Little Farm in the Henhouse, by the author of Little Farm in the Garden, is the story of a midlife couple's hen adventures in the Foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Once Susan and John bring six pullets to their wooded acreage, they must figure out chicken care and habits, and chicken personalities on the fly, and most important of all, chicken protection.

In this 4th book of the Little Farm homesteading series, you’ll discover the magic and teachable moments of raising hens in the middle of the woods. Whether you already have a flock of "girls" or or thinking of getting one, you'll discover lots of practical tips and best practices for your chickens’ health and contentment--and a whole lot of what not to do!

Yet caring for hens in in the wild is not all sweetness and light... Along with many joys, Susan and John experience many sorrows as well. Yet in these engaging chicken tales, you may discover that hens don't simply provide eggs--they may give you a deeper appreciation for all living creatures.
