CHICKENS-USEFUL LINKS

Here are some of the best reference links I have found that go into detail on a variety of things...

BACKYARD CHICKEN
Wonderful photos of chicken coops, tractors and how-to build details. Excellent list of breeds with their characteristics. Great general purpose site.

PASTURED POULTRY
Sort of a barebones introduction to pastured poultry by the originator of the concept, Joel Salatin.

BACKYARD POULTRY
A magazine, it has articles online from the printed magazine with lots of great insights.

FEATHERSITE
A longtime website loaded with helpful info on breeds, hatching your own, raising chicks, and a lot of odds and ends.

HENDERSON'S HANDY-DANDY CHICKEN CHART
Great list of breeds and what you need to know about them.

URBAN CHICKENS
Group dedicated to helping people raise chickens in restrictive urban zoning. Ideas on how to get chickens in your yard legally and how to maintain them.

SQUIDOO DOOR OPENER
Ideas for automatic door openers and closers for your coop. Chickens come in RIGHT at sunfall, and that means a minute or two different every night. A light-sensitive opener keeps them safe from critters and lets you go off and do your own thing.

WOLF CREEK RANCH

Details on how to use Diatomaceous Earth to prevent parasites in chickens, pets, livestock, housing and pretty much everywhere.
