Get started keeping chickens in your own backyard with this fun essential guide by TikTok star (and founder of Purely Chickens) Nikki Husted.

After deciding to live the homesteading life with her family, Nikki Husted discovered she had a lot to learn. But rather than going solo, she shared more and more behind the scenes. Years later, a whole community of chicken keepers and homesteaders follow along for the combination of information and humor delivered almost daily on Purely Chickens.

In her first book, Nikki shares all of the techniques, tips, and tools necessary for backyard chicken keeping--so you can learn from her own successes and mistakes! Chicken Keeping Pure and Simple addresses:


Where to start: What are the rules for keeping chickens in your area? What do you need to get started? How many chickens do you need? (Which is different from how many you want!) And more considerations to both stoke and temper your excitement...

Giving chickens what they need: There are serious things you should consider before you start raising your chickens, from monthly costs to time requirements. Do you have what it takes?!

Which comes first for you--the chicken or the egg?: Deciding between eggs, chicks, pullets, or hens as your starting point is about more than just cute baby chicks (though don't we all love cute baby chicks?).

The bonding process: Learn how to raise your chickens based on different breeds and personalities, from chick to adult!

All about the coop: How to set up and maintain a coop, including the process of cleaning. Extra tips on how to deal with the smell included!

Medical needs: Dealing with common injuries, common pests/parasites, and how to find a good vet for your chickens.

Throw in page after page of "glamorous" chicken photographs and this is the perfect book, whether you're just getting started with chickens or still dreaming of your first flock!
