The answer is chickens--endearing birds that require but a modest outlay of time, space and food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs they learned to raise chickens, Gail and Rick Luttmann came to realize the need for a comprehensive but clear and nontechnical guide. Their book covers all the basics in a light and entertaining sytle, from housing and feeding through incubating, bringing up chicks, butchering, and raising chickens for show.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrougout \u003ci\u003eChickens In Your Backyard\u003c\/i\u003e, the Luttmanns express their wonder at the personalities of chickens--the role of brash protector played by roosters, and the instinctive motherliness of the hens.
