RE: Who Else Wants To Raise Chickens Easily?

Dear Chicken Farmer or Owner-to-be,

Are you frustrated with the limited quality of Chicken Raising books on the market? Are you disappointed again that they are difficult to follow? Not enough information? Do you have questions on raising chickens properly that need to be answered?

You have tons of questions about raising chickens and you’re sick and tired of searching for information from all over the place, struggling to get the true and complete facts.

If you have any interest at all in getting a chicken or chicks… and if you want to find out what type of chicken you should get…or you just want to figure out whether you should get a chicken or not…keep reading on for the most important information you need to know.

Whatever your reason for choosing these fascinating poultry, you need to know how to raise them properly, from planning their birth to how to take care of them properly.

I searched in almost all the corner bookstores around. Yeah, sure I found a few chicken books, bird books and the all too unknown books about poultry authored by the so-called ‘experts’. I bought them happily and started reading… but when I applied the tips given, I discovered there was still SO MUCH MORE that was NOT addressed!

After a hard consideration, I set out to find these secrets myself. It was not easy at first, but I pursued and persevered.

I ended up doing my own research to find out the truth about these secrets so that I can take good care of my own flock… all of my chickens.

Then, I wanted them to get along with each other AND the children. I spent over 3 months just communicating with veterinarians, other chicken owners and various experienced breeders of different chicken types. My goal was to get global expertise from different people and get their input as well as learn from their experiences.

For example, do you really know:

	Can you make a profit off owning and raising chickens?
	What are the pros and cons of raising chickens?
	What is the average cost of raising chickens?
	How many weeks does it take for chickens to start laying eggs?
	For beginners, what is a good number of chickens to start with?
	How long do egg laying chickens live?
	How do you know when the chicken egg is fertilized or edible?
	What temperature should you incubate chicken eggs at?
	Step by step on how to incubate chicken eggs?
	What is the correct temperature to get hens when hatching chicken eggs?
	How many weeks does it take for chicken eggs to hatch?
	What breeds of hens should a first time chicken-raiser get?
	How many different breeds of chicken are there?
	When should I start feeding my chickens pellets?
	What type of incubator is good for hatching chicks?
	How much space do chickens need?
	What are the nutrition requirements for a chicken?
	What are some poultry diseases and cures?
	How long do baby chicks have to stay in the incubator after hatching?
	How do you home dress a poultry?

If you answered ‘no’ or ‘not sure to even one of these questions you ARE putting your chicks and chickens at risk!

Then, I researched on the internet, burning the midnight oil to read articles and forum posts to find out more. And, of course, I did not forget about the tips I've gathered from books I've bought from the local bookstores.

Phew! It was a lot of work. But if you were to ask me whether it was worth the effort, I'll say YES because I finally got my answers. It's no longer a secret to me how to raise my chickens happily and healthily the way I want it.

Here's your ticket to fast-track learn that and to end any shooting in the dark, figuring how to achieve that…

I've recently put together a 140 pages downloadable ebook called..

“How To Raise Chickens –
The Essential Beginner's Guide To
Raising Chickens”

This is unlike ANY book on goat you see on the shelf because it's a researched book from people who personally own different goats. If you want to learn how to fly, would you ask a sailor to teach you or an airplane pilot?

With that said, The Essential Beginner's Guide To Raising Chickens is a collection of tips and secrets from many chicken lovers (like you and me), instead of opinions of a single 'chicken-expert'.

This is probably one of the best books on the market, having raised a few chickens with my family for the past one year, I really like this guide. As I read through this guide, it covers all of the major topics that a beginner needs to know about, and presents the information in an easy to read format. Thanks Bob! I am lucky to found your website.

Not knowing anything about raising chickens, I had to start somewhere. I have gotten my hands on several books since I decided to raise chickens, and this guide has by far been the most relevant and informative. The section on incubation and hatching are well worth the value of the guide compared to the mistakes I can make without being aware. All in all, I would recommend this guide for someone considering raising chickens as well as those who already have chickens and want good reference information to which they can refer as needed. Thanks again!!!

I have gotten a couple of chickens just to keep as pets and your guide was recommended by the breeder. I can’t imagine how I could have dealt with chicken ownership if I hadn’t read your guide first. It helps me to address the issues I have especially on feeding the chickens. The guide is straightforward and informative for someone like me who knows nothing about raising chickens. Well done!
