Who can raise a chicken? Anyone can No, though, anyone who wants to provide eggs, meat, and fun backyard pets for their family can have chickens. The only challenges you will have are space, a small investment, and city/town ordinances. We will discuss not only how to find the best chickens, but why they are ideal for you and your family to raise. We will cover mobile and stationary coops, free-range chickens, and different breeds that are best for eggs or meat.
Pro-chicken movement? You probably think I made that up, but it is a real thing. Over the last five years, more and more people are participating in food production for their families. In turn, more cities and towns have been changing their ordinances to accommodate this resurgence in self-sufficient families, as the benefits outweigh the risks.
This book covers the following topics:
- Starting, why keep chickens
- Housing your flock during the season
- Through the breeds
- Buying wisely your chickens
- Chicken behavior
- All about food and water
- All about eggs a laying hen
- Reasons why your chickens stop laying eggs
- How to raise a backyard chicken
- Chicken care: daily, weekly, monthly and semi-yearly tasks
...And much more
Chickens have become popular because they work well in small space environments, like suburban backyards. With a growing concern for genetically modified food, hormone-filled chickens, and who knows what else science can come up with to enhance chickens and their eggs, raising them in your backyard is a perfect alternative. Also, with rising costs of eggs due to transportation and energy cost increases, having eggs straight from the hen house 20 feet from your backdoor is a viable and money-saving method of food production.

Описание: Learn How to Raise Healthy Chickens at Your Backyard
When starting a backyard chicken coop, one of the first decisions you'll have to make is which breed of chicken you will raise. Each breed has specific characteristics and can be used for different purposes. In general, though, chicken breeds break down into three groups: egg layers, meat chickens, and dual-purpose chickens.
Egg layers produce both a nice quantity and quality of egg. Egg color can also be a factor here. Despite what you have seen in the market, not all chicken eggs are white or brown Some chickens lay blue, green or pink eggs which may be less desirable.
The Leghorn chicken is the best egg layer that is commonly used by beginners. A mature hen can lay up to 280 eggs in one year. The eggs are large, and white to off-white in color. Leghorns tend to be smaller than other backyard chickens, and have a good nature suitable for a backyard flock. Many commercial farms use the Leghorn as their egg layer of choice.
WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO LEARN IN THIS BOOK
What Are the Best Backyard Chicken Breeds?
Should you Raise Meat Chickens?
Introducing New Chickens to Your Existing Flock
Hidden Costs of Raising Chickens
Problems You Should Expect with Raising Backyard Chickens
Meat chickens, sometimes called fryers or broilers, are raised for the meat they can provide. If meat is what you want from your flock, then size and weight matter. Some good meat chickens, like the New Hampshire Red, can grow up to 9 pounds. You'll also want to make sure the skin color and shape of the chicken breed is suitable for cooking. In general, a nice rounded chicken with yellow skin (under the feathers) is preferred.
Most backyard hobbyists want the best of both worlds. This is where the third group, dual-purpose chickens, comes in. Dual-purpose chickens are fair to good egg layers, but can also be raised to a decent size for cooking later in life.

Описание: In dealing with the IUCN, one must bear in mind that there never has been, and undoubtedly never will be, any other organization even remotely resembling it. Its peculiarities, subtleties and complexities are sometimes mind-boggling (Nicholson 1990 in Holdgate 1999: ix).Green Web-II investigates IUCN’s role in global biodiversity conservation policy as well as in national program development in India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh. It explores how nature protection priorities and approaches are promoted or addressed by IUCN, an international organization, and how environment conservation policies are created and maintained in states with different capacities of South Asia. It also evaluates IUCN's competency in bio-diversity, climate change, nature conservation and environmental policy formulation at global, regional and country level. This study is the first detailed scholarly study on the IUCN as an organization as well as on its efforts in biodiversity conservation.This book adds to our knowledge, firstly by contributing to a small but growing body of work on the sociology of international organizations. IOs, especially International Governmental Organizations (IGOs), have long been the subject of mostly political science. Secondly, it applies a fuller sociological imagination to the study of IOs by critically exploring one of the largest and most active nature conservation organizations in the world. Thirdly, it also explores how the IUCN actually goes about building protectoral programs with individual member nations.Additionally, the book explores the recent development of the green economy (GE) concepts into IUCN’s program planning today. The green economy initiative applies a people-first approach. Although the concept is relatively new, this research explores the theoretical development of a green economy and illustrates how this theory is applied in IUCN’s program planning to program implementation.Technical topics discussed in the book include:Motivation of Environment Conservation - How personal efforts make differenceRole of International Environment Conservation OrganizationsPolitical Economy of Organizations, Network theory, Institutional theory, Stakeholder theory, Governance theoryGovernance performances and CompetitivenessPopularity indicesKnowledge creation and diffusionConservation commons
