The Small-Scale Poultry Flock offers a practical and integrative model for working with chickens and other domestic fowl, based entirely on natural systems.
Readers will find information on growing (and sourcing) feed on a small scale, brooding (and breeding) at home, and using poultry as insect and weed managers in the garden and orchard.

Extended information on poultry health and holistic health care, with a focus on prevention
Planning your flock (flock size, choosing breeds, fowl useful for egg vs. meat production, sourcing stock)
