BOOK: Organic Chickens – Self-sufficiency for Household Needs

Jens Juhl and Sølva Falgren's popular chicken book is now in its 3rd edition – with a fresh, new layout and a (slightly) changed title

 

By farming organically, crops and animals are allowed to develop more slowly, which means better vegetables and meat. Flavor develops when animals and plants aren't pushed into rapid growth and when they have a good life. By giving chickens conditions that are close to their natural way of life in terms of food and behavior, you get happy chickens and therefore the best eggs and the most flavorful and healthy roast.

 

Organic Chickens – self-sufficiency for household needs covers the best chicken breeds for small flocks, life in the flock, the chickens' menu, the chicken coop, care and maintenance, appearance and anatomy, diseases, eggs, slaughtering and much more.

 

A must-have for the self-sufficient family and for everyone who loves fresh morning eggs straight from the hen.

 

 

Jens Juhl and Sølva Falgren have kept chickens for many years and, through

AGENDA 21, help put chickens to the test for those interested. The authors

run many courses each year on organic gardening and chicken keeping and have written several

books about organic cultivation.
