Avoid the common mistakes that could kill your chickens before they even lay an egg

Do you want to raise healthy and happy chickens that give you the best, organic, free-range eggs?

Are you done supporting factory farming, barren battery cages and chicken abuse?

Do you want to protect your family from consuming antibiotics and other hormones in their food?

Here's a little secret for you - the goal is easy to accomplish. In fact, chickens are some of the best animals for beginners because they're low maintenance, friendly and quite resilient.

Just imagine waking up in the morning, going over to the coop and being greeted by the clucks of your flock. You reach into the laying nest to collect the eggs that are so fresh that they're still warm. You then go ahead to cook the most delicious omelet you've ever had.

Backyard eggs are much more nutritionally wholesome than the store-bought ones. The same applies to the meat of the chickens you raise, if you decide to go that way.

While this all sounds like a dream come true, there are still many questions that need to get answered before your perfect little flock comes into existence.

What's the perfect laying breed? What kinds of chickens should you raise for meat? In fact, can you have one chicken for both?

How can you construct an ideal coop that will make your chickens comfortable, sheltered and happy?

How do you make sure that your chickens are healthy day in and day out?

You need to know all of these essentials before getting started.

Raising backyard chickens doesn't need to be complex or expensive if you educate yourself up front and avoid the common, yet fatal beginner mistakes.

In Chicken Raising, you will discover:

  • 10 eye-opening reasons why you should start raising your own chickens
  • The differences between a Leghorn and an Orpington, as well as other spectacular laying and broiler breeds
  • Step-by-step guidance on building a chicken coop from scratch even if you have never used a drill before
  • 4 silly mistakes that will kill your chicken coop project right from the start
  • The Best strategies to optimize the nutritional content of your organic, free-range eggs

  • Foods, supplements and delicious treats your chickens will love
  • An easy way to set a daily routine that will give you an optimal egg yield
  • Safe egg and meat handling guidelines to eliminate the risk of bacterial contamination altogether

And a lot more.

You don't need a ton of space and you don't need a ton of experience to start working on sustainable food production and your independence from major corporate chains.

Raising chickens is such a scalable activity anyone can try Just get a chicken or two and when you feel comfortable, you can quickly increase the size of the flock.

You will love it, your kids will love it and soon, you'll get so hooked that you'll consider starting to raise other kinds of animals, as well.

My dog is a toy destroyer
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog, Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
I’ve had a hard time trying to find toys that my dog, Zara loves because she’s actually very picky. Ive gotten plenty of Kong toys that are well known to be indestructible but she wants nothing to do with them. Then I got her ropes and that seemed to be good for a while until she was getting sick in the middle of the night from eating all of the string. Stuffed toys aren’t good because she’ll rip them within seconds and eat all of the stuffing. I felt like I’ll never score the perfect toy for her. I found the three layered cactus toy and decided to give it a go. It’s clearly designed to be ripped and destroyed to get the ball in the middle which is actually really cute and fun to see all of the layers. The cactus arms have stuffing and of course that’s the first thing she went for and ate. I had to watch her and make sure I took the stuffing away before she ate it. And before I knew it, she ate half of the first layer fabric lol once she got through the first layer, all she’s been doing is walking around the house with the toy in her mouth. But now she’s tired and passed out on the couch from all of the fun. This toy won’t last long with a toy destroyer but it sure does give them something to do and it’s a cute toy. I do recommend!!

Last a while. Will be buying more toys soon.
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
Best dog toy I have ever bought. I have three dogs, two at the time I bought this toy. It took them over a year to break through the first layer. The flower comes off first so be careful your dog doesn't swallow it. It still has the second layer so it still looks like a cactus. No stuffing to clean up when they tear into it, which makes it far less messy than other toys. One of my dogs is obsessed with fetch so I use it like a ball inside. The oval shape makes it hard to ensure when it bounces that it will bounce straight. It's bounced into walls and other stuff that I wasn't intending it to hit. Not much of a squeak so I can let them play with it for hours and I don't get annoyed with the noise. Great toy that lasts a while.

Nice Value
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
Very cute! Its soft and feels like it is well made. It is a heavier toy and a tougher one. Not a plush toy. I will order again for our older dogs. Nice value for sure!

Great toy for our best boys!
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
You can never go wrong with BarkBox toys and this was no exception. Our dogs like toys that have squeakers and that they can tear into. This style of toy fits the bill. The design is cute as well. I’ve had this in the house for months and, while it’s definitely seen better days, it’s still intact and they haven’t gotten to the inner layer. (Not for want of trying.) The perfect type of toy for our fur babies.

Survives 7 months so far.
Color: Christmas Consuela, Size: Large Dog
It is still intact after nearly 7 months of constant play. My blue heeler normally destroys toys in just a few weeks. Consuela has exceeded expectations of survival with an extremely chewy, destruction prone dog.
