Beschrijving

Bol Four hens, two dozen eggs a week, and a system you can actually follow.Most first flocks fail the same way. The coop turns out too small by week three. Something digs under the run fence in the first month. A hen looks "a bit off" on Monday and is dead by Friday, and nobody knew what to look for.This book is built to prevent exactly that. Every chapter ends with a sign-off checklist you tick before you move on, and every rule of thumb is a number you can measure with a tape: four square feet of coop floor per bird, ten square feet of run, ten inches of roost, one nest box per four hens.Inside you will find: - A plain comparison of beginner-friendly breeds: temperament first, eggs second, looks last- Full dimensioned drawings for a 4 x 6 ft starter coop, with a materials list and a build sequence- The predator chapter that most books skip: the buried apron, mesh that actually holds, and two-action latches- A five-minute daily routine and the four seasonal shifts that go with it- Feeding without guesswork: one complete ration, free-choice grit and shell, water within twenty steps- What healthy looks like, the red flags that mean call a vet today, and how to keep a record that answers questions later- Eggs: when they start, why they stop, and how to handle and store what you collect- Broody hens, chicks, and the week-by-week path to point of lay- The fifteen mistakes beginners actually make, what each one costs, and the fix- Rules, neighbors and paperwork: what to check in week zero, before you spend anythingReference you will keep using: a month-by-month plan for year one, every number in the book on a single page, a glossary, blank logs you can photocopy, and a troubleshooting index that turns what you noticed into the chapter that answers it.Written for the keeper of three to eight birds in an ordinary backyard, not for a commercial farm.Start with Chapter 10 and week zero. Then build once, build right, and enjoy the eggs.
