Hobby Farms Chickens: Tending a Small-Scale Flock for Pleasure and Profit is geared toward the hobby farmer looking to begin his or her own flock of chickens on a small farm or even backyard. Author Sue Weaver, who keeps various exotic breeds and countless barnies on her farm, is an expert on all things livestock and an avowed chicken fanatic. This photo-filled guide begins with ?Chickens 101” and details the physiology of chickens, members of the Phasianidea family, providing beginning hobby farmers with a basic education in the chicken’s unique physical makeup (from wings and feathers to beaks and digestive tracts), behavior, mating, and its unexpected high intelligence. The author offers advice on choosing the right types of chickens to get started: meat, egg, or dual purpose, or maybe even ?just for pets.” The book is an excellent resource for selecting which breed of chicken is best for the hobby farmer, based on the birds’ traits, such as aggression, personality, noise factor, tolerance for heat, confinement, cold, etc. Chickens also provides information on selecting or building a suitable chicken coop for the hobby farmer’s brood, outlining the basic requirements (lighting, ventilation, flooring, waterers, insulation, safety, and so forth). A detailed chapter on feeding chickens offers essential guidance on nutrition, commercial feeds, supplements, and water requirements. For the chicken hobby farmer looking to start with a clutch of baby chicks (from his own hen or an outside source), the author provides excellent info on incubators and hatching as well as all of the accommodations and preparation required for hens in the nest box. A chapter on selling eggs and broilers provides timetables, requirements, and dos and don’ts to get a hobby farmer’s business off on the right foot. All chicken keepers will find the chapter on health of particular value, with expert advice on preventing common problems and dealing various maladies and diseases. Much detailed information about all of the topics in the book is encapsulated in sidebars. A glossary of over 125 terms plus a detailed resource section of chicken and poultry associations, books, and websites complete the volume. Fully indexed.

Quality meets style
Color: White, Size: Large, Color: White, Size: Large
This is an Oxford button-down dress shirt that is a great example of quality craftsmanship paired with classic style. The 50% polyester and 50% cotton fabric has a nice substantial weight to it that feels durable without being too heavy, making it perfect for a polished summer look. The detailed design around the collar adds a subtle touch of casual sophistication, and the chest pocket keeps it practical and versatile. The construction is impressive, with securely attached buttons that reinforce the overall sense of durability. I also appreciated the inclusion of two extra button which is a thoughtful and useful addition. The size large did run a bit snug so I’ll be ordering the next size up. This is a well-made shirt, of a quality-feel material. This brand continues to deliver on both quality and style, and the price feels more than fair for what you’re getting. Overall, a very nice summer dress shirt that I’d gladly recommend.
