Keeping chooks

Chickens need a few basic necessities if they are to thrive.

Somewhere to live, a balanced diet, fresh water and a safe place to lay eggs and hatch chicks.

These links explore the life of domestic chooks and explain the basic requirements for keeping chickens, including housing, feeding, parasites and diseases. There is also an in-depth study on breeding quality fowls featuring the reproduction processes, incubation, rearing and sexing chicks, and various strategies you can use to breed better birds.

A new section dealing with showing chooks will be included soon.
