The author, Jenny Robson, has made a reference book for those wanting to raise chickens / poultry for the first time. She covers such basics as heat and space needs, brooder and coop layout, feeding and more, for layer and broiler chickens, and continues when they are fully grown hens and roosters. She goes into a number of problems likely to be encountered in a small flock and has also added some information about incubating eggs and broody hens. Jenny has had extensive experience raising day-old-chicks when she operated a small farm on Vancouver Island.

SHIPPING
$5. The book can be shipped to you using Canada Post oversize letter service, in a plain brown envelope. Usually, I should be able to mail it the day after the order comes in to save you driving to Mill Bay.

$8. I can send it in a padded envelope. Unfortunately, it jumps up to the next price range at Canada Post and the padded envelope costs more than a plain brown envelope
