Be Sure to Read This Before You Get Chickens

Thinking about getting chickens? Not sure what kind is best? If youâ€™re ready to learn which types of hens lay lots of eggs on a regular basis, make good pets, and fit happily in small sized yards, youâ€™ve come to the right place. This e-booklet provides you with information on 12 types of chickens which are best suited for a small back yard flock.

Plus Bonus Section: 5 Exotic Breeds for Backyards

Also included is a bonus chapter covering 5 Exotic Poultry Chicken Breeds which are also suitable for backyards. If you've never seen a bird that looks like a chicken crossed with a turkey, another one with a head resembling a feather duster, a third that looks more like a rabbit than a chicken, a hen that lays dark chocolate brown eggs, and a one pound chicken 6-12 inches tall that people keep as an indoor pet, then prepare to meet some new friends! Amazingly, each of these has a friendly personality and all can make good pets.

Thereâ€™s a lot of free information online about different kinds of chickens. Itâ€™s great to have this available, but sorting through it can take a lot of time. When I decided to get chickens, I spent many hours researching different chicken breeds in books and on the Internet. At the time, I had a small yard in the city. The only thing I knew about chickens was that the hens lay the eggs and the roosters make most of the noise!

From my research, I learned that there are as many as 175 different kinds of chickens in the world. However, only 12 chicken breeds met my criteria, which were:

â€¢Regular and prolific egg layers
â€¢Comfortable in an enclosed coop and run area
â€¢Preferably, not too loud
â€¢Friendly around people

Save Time and Money

It would take you at least two or three hours just to find this information, even before you sort through, read, and analyze it. Instead, Iâ€™ve put all the important stuff in this short booklet (which only appears longer because of all the chicken pictures, another essential element for people choosing breeds). Iâ€™ve summarized the lengthy raw material from my own research, selected the best breeds for backyards, and presented this information in a format you can use.

Don't Get the Wrong Kind of Chickens!

Be sure to read this booklet before you get chickens!
Don't make the mistake of getting the wrong kind of chickens for your small yard. The wrong kinds can eat lots of food, get fat, and lay few eggs. They can be loud, aggressive, obnoxious, or scared of people. The right kinds will lay eggs almost every day, stay calm and quiet, let you pick them up and pet them, and will not mind being kept in a coop and fenced area!
