GRIT"S Guide To Backyard Chickens | Animals | Forums

Some members were asking about raising animals in the backyard. My wife and I were at the store yesterday and I was walking by the magazine section when I noticed that grit had updated their backyard chicken edition.

It goes over a lot of basic info and for 6.99 USD it’s no a bad addition to your knowledge base.

Here is a summary of the magazine from their website.
