Having backyard hens is a fulfilling and enlightening experience that lets people enjoy the company of these endearing birds, make their own food, and get back in touch with nature. We'll go over the crucial actions you need to do to begin raising backyard hens in this chapter. The Pleasures of Having Chicks Taking care of a henhouse in your garden brings a great sense of satisfaction. The advantages of owning hens are many, whether you're attracted to the thought of making your own fresh eggs, relishing in the eccentric personalities of these feathery companions, or just choosing to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Comprehending Local Laws It's important to get informed with any local laws or ordinances pertaining to the keeping of poultry before starting your chicken-keeping journey. There are regulations in place in many localities on the quantity of hens that may be kept, how the coop must be built, and how close the property can be to another. Understanding and abiding by these rules can help you stay out of trouble with the law and maintain good ties with your community. Choosing the Correct Breed Selecting the best breed of chicken for your requirements is one of the first choices you'll have to make as a potential chicken keeper. Making this selection might be intimidating since there are hundreds of different breeds of chickens to choose from, each with distinct qualities and attributes. Egg-laying ability, temperament, cold tolerance, and appropriateness for confinement or free-ranging are among the factors to take into account. You may choose hens that fit your lifestyle and surroundings by carefully weighing your priorities and learning about various breeds. Getting Your Coop Ready The health and well-being of your flock depend on a well-planned and built coop. Think about things like size, ventilation, insulation, and predator-proofing while designing your coop. Your hens should have enough room in the coop to comfortably roost, nest, and roam about in addition to having shelter from the weather and predators. A clean and cozy living space for your hens may also be ensured by including elements like easy-to-clean floors, roosting bars, and nesting boxes. Assembling Necessary Equipment Before you bring your first hens home, there are a few necessities you'll need to buy in addition to a strong coop. These consist of waterers and feeders, bedding, feed that is suitable for the age and nutritional requirements of your hens, and basic first aid supplies to treat minor wounds or diseases. Purchasing top-notch tools and materials can help position your flock for success and reduce possible problems later on.

Excerpt HOW FOWLS LOOK. 1. Here we find the hen and chickens, a new company of our farm-yard friends. We see that they are very unlike the other friends we have been studying, and, though we know them well, we may find out something new about them. 2. Instead of a coat of hair or fur, the hen is covered with feathers, all pointing backward and lying over each other, so that the rain falls off as from the shingles of a house. 3. When we studied the cat, we found that she had four legs for walking and running, and that she used the paws on her front legs for scratching and catching her prey. 4. We have but two legs for walking or running, our fore legs being arms, and our paws, hands. 5. These new friends, the chickens, have but two legs, and in this way are more like boys and girls than are cats and dogs. 6. But the chicken has the same number of limbs as the others, only those in front are wings instead of fore legs or arms. 7. Here is a picture of the legs and feet of a hen. We see that the legs are covered with scales, and that each foot has four toes, three pointing forward and one back. Each toe has a long, sharp, and strong nail. 8. Let us look at the hen when she is walking slowly! As she lifts up each foot, her toes curl up, very much as our fingers do when we double them up to make a fist. 9. When the chicken is about a year old, a spur, hard like horn, begins to grow on the inside of each leg. Upon the old cocks these spurs are long and sharp, and he can strike savage blows with them. 10. It is when we look a hen in the face that we see how much it differs from all the animals we have studied before. 11. The head stands up straight, and the eyes are placed on each side, so that it can look forward, to the side, and partly backward. 12. Two little ears are just back and below the eyes; at first we would hardly know what they are, they are so small and unlike the other ears which we have seen. 13. All the lower part of the face is a bill, hard like horn, and running out to a point. The bill opens and makes the mouth, and two holes in the upper part make the nose. 14. As the whole bill is hard like bone, the hen does not need teeth, and does not have any. She was never known to complain with the tooth-ache. 15. Large bits of food she scratches apart with her feet, or breaks up with her bill; but, as she can not chew, the pieces she takes into her mouth she swallows whole. 16. Upon the top of the head is a red, fleshy comb, which is much larger on cocks than on hens. This comb is sometimes single, and sometimes double. 17. Under the bill on each side there hangs down a wattle of red flesh that looks very much like the comb. 18. The tail of the cock has long feathers, which curl over the rest and give him a very graceful appearance. LESSON II. WHAT FOWLS DO. 1. When the hen walks, she folds her wings close by her side; but when she flies, she spreads them out like a fan. Her body is so heavy that she can fly but a little ways without resting....

A hilarious read-aloud favorite about some foolish farm animals who decide to trade roles—and discover just how hard it is to do someone else's job, from award-winning author Lester L. Laminack and celebrated illustrator Henry Cole. The Tuckers' farm is a peaceful place where everyone has a job and no one complains. That is, until a hapless peacock falls off the back of a passing truck and stirs things up. Soon, customers are flocking to the farm to see what all the fuss is about. But the hens don't like the newcomer getting attention while they do all the hard work. When a wise old hound sees the problem, he helps orchestrate a job swap. What follows is the riotous tale of three hens who get in way over their feathered heads, and one very distressed peacock who just can't figure out how to lay an egg. Lester L. Laminack has created a comical look at envy, finding your strength, and what happens when we underestimate the value of others' work. Henry Cole's delightful illustrations heighten the story's humor and will have readers of all ages laughing out loud.
