- The Chicken Whisperer’s Guide to Keeping Chickens
This book is the perfect mix of text and images, teaching you everything you need to know without being overwhelming. This was my first chicken book about seven years ago and is still applicable today!
2. Evergreen
Evergreen is an organization in Toronto that promotes sustainable practices in cities, including urban agriculture.
Check out some of their resources at https://www.evergreen.ca/tools-publications/.
3. backyardchickens.com
This forum has been endlessly helpful whenever I needed any information poultry related (or otherwise)! You can read their articles and become a member so that you can post questions and get them answered by a huge chicken network. 🙂
4. Once Upon a Flock
This book wasn’t particularly informative but is a very entertaining read about a women’s journey to getting her own backyard chickens! The language is pretty easy, I remember first reading it when I was in grade 5 or so. It also helps that there are the most adorable drawings!
