“In 50 Do-It-Yourself Projects for Keeping Chickens, Janet Garman
offers a wide variety of projects with clear, step-by-step
instructions. With budget-friendly suggestions for upcycling and
using materials you already have on hand, you can spoil your birds
without breaking the bank. Her homespun style and love of chickens
shine through on every page.” —Laurie Neverman, Common Sense Home
"When we first started keeping chicken on our homestead, it was a
confusing time with quite a bit of money spent on items which were
not needed to raise a healthy happy flock. Janet's book provides
practical and environmentally friendly DIY tips while being budget
friendly! This is a great book for new chicken keepers, as well as
for seasoned ones who are looking for creative new ideas on how to
modify existing builds. The projects and tips listed here are ones
that every chicken keeper will need over the course of raising
poultry, and for that I am thankful it was written." —Ann
Accetta-Scott, A Farm Girl in the Making,
www.afarmgirlinthemaking.com "If I could be an animal, I’d choose
to be a chicken as long as I could play, roost, nest, and eat on
Janet’s farm. Janet knows chickens! If you had only one book about
raising chickens, this gorgeously photographed and step-by-step
illustrated book is for you. Janet makes it easy, inexpensive, and
oh, so doable to keep chickens. Personally, I can’t wait to get
started building Janet’s Jungle Gym and Herbal Snack Bar Wall
Hanging for my chickens. Janet’s book is a must-read for everyone
who its thinking about keeping chickens and the experienced chicken
farmer. 50 Do-It-Yourself Projects for Keeping Chickens is the best
Chicken book I have ever read! Stacy Lyn Harris" —Author, Game and
Garden.com "From bringing your chickens home, to keeping them
healthy and well, this book isn't just about building projects,
it's an exceptional resource for raising your chickens from the
moment you bring your chicks home to the time they begin laying!
Every DIY chicken keeper should have this beautiful resource on
their bookshelf!" —Amy K. Fewell, The Homesteader's Herbal
Companion, and Founder of Homesteaders of America "For years Janet
has provided a wonderful resource with her blog, giving incredible
advice for keeping your chicken flock healthy. We are so excited
that she has created such a beautiful book that compiles amazing
chicken keeping advice, alongside all of these wonderful DIY
projects, that she has made into easy to understand steps that
anyone can do! Every chicken keeper will learn a lot from this
book, but we love how it addresses the 'tricks of the trade' that
it would normally take beginners years of trial and error to figure
out on their own." —Brittany May & Penny Ausley, Happy Days Farm,

friendly' in organization and presentation, 50 Do-It-Yourself
