E-booklet 'Small Scale Chicken Keeping'
Here at Sallygardens I've been working on a range of booklets available via email, hence they are 'E-booklets'. This keeps costs down as there's no postage, you simply print out the email attachment at your end. Also E-booklets can easily be amended and updated, thus kept right up to the minute with any new enlightenments (usually disasters!) and experiences we have with our own livestock!
We don't claim to be experts at any of this. What we do have on our side is the ability to remember what it's like to start completely from scratch, with no previous livestock experience whatsoever! Not knowing what to feed a pig, goat or chicken was hard enough to find out, but then we even had to find out where to buy it and how to enter the legal agricultural system. Then housing, fencing and breeding were all things that took quite an investment of time to research, not to mention finding the various channels available to buy livestock in Ireland. These booklets help to get you fast tracked and save all the footwork that we've already done.
The latest e-booklet I've written is about keeping chickens on a small scale, either in an urban back garden or on a smallholding. This level of poultry keeping is aimed at those who want to have a supply of eggs for the family, or some birds for the table. The e-booklet costs €8 and is 15 A4 pages long. If interested, please email me for a Paypal invoice to buy the booklet.
Hi Rebeccan,

What a good idea! When I finally get a space for chickens I will have to return to this entry.
