I’ve always liked the idea of having chickens and this audiobook is a great confidence boost if you’re starting from scratch.

The content itself covers everything you’d want as a beginner. It walks through coop basics, how to keep the hens safe, what to feed them, and how to spot if something’s wrong. There’s a good section on illness and what to do about it, and I found the part on adding new hens really useful - as well as the detail around common mistakes. There are a few things I would have completely messed up.

Honestly, even if you just listen to get a feel for what’s involved, it’s worth it for the narration alone which I thoroughly enjoyed!

An excellent listen all round.
