Keeping hens is easy. This friendly, chatty book gives you all the everyday information you need to keep your hens happy and safe. It covers all the questions you might have: How many hens to keep? What to feed them? What about a cockerel? Will they get on with the dog or destroy the vegetable patch?

Jane Furnival shares her decade of experience with a back garden flock, which over the years included battery rescue hens and cockerels. As you'd expect from the Queen of Thrift, Jane's top tips include no-nonsense money-saving ideas and practical suggestions. This chatty guide also includes instructions on how to build a hen house by Jane's husband Andy.

Jane's hilarious and heartwarming stories of life with Winchester the cockerel and his hen-pecked retinue will entertain animal lovers and inspire anyone who is thinking about keeping chickens.
