A couple working six months per year for 50 hours per week on 20 acres can net $25,000-$30,000 per year with an investment equivalent to the price of one new medium-sized tractor. Seldom has agriculture held out such a plum. In a day when main-line farm experts predict the continued demise of the family farm, the pastured poultry opportunity shines like a beacon in the night, guiding the way to a brighter future.

Well laid out chicken care

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2015

Verified Purchase

I have been studying this book and am making my first go at raising chickens this way; this book is well written, easy to read, enjoyable and the directions are clear. So far I think we are doing well with our chicks and by the end of this week we'll be moving them into the chicken tractor.

8 weeks later we did raise 60-something cornish-x's successfully; thank you Joe Salatan!
We did use this book as our "bible" using it very often to check weather issues etc ... we moved our chickens three times a day.

I read a review that said the book is disorganized, and it is a bit choppy; it has been written over many decades and so plan on taking notes & marking important passages, but I do feel it is an important book and it gave my husband & I the pertinent information to successfully raise a very healthy flock - and let me tell you, these are beautiful healthy birds! We'll be sad to see them go, but next year we'll run 2 tractors and run them twice.

Really informative. Took the fear out of raising chickens for meat. Did my first batch this year. I have no plans to turn it into a business but this was my go to book for guidance on what to do week to week from hatchling to freezer

Good book, lots of great points. My only concern is will this work in the dry Colorado high-desert. My issues are 1) bears and 2) drought. No much mention of the other in this book. The author is the best of the best in his filed but has much greener pasture then I. Still tons of great info here.

Before you invest in your hobby farm....read this book

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

uses many of the same chapters as the other books, so make sure you're buying it for the right reason. If you have "So you think you can farm" in your library, I recommend a different purchase. I applied much of the Salatin model in my straw box garden last season and had great success here in Utah--using less water than the year before, but harvested double. Bio-diversity efforts to build soil (maintaining microorganisms) adds to Salatin's concepts of "grass farming." In the West, there is less water than soil and no shortage of sunshine and heat. Salatin does a great job of risk management for farming for our conditions. You can't go wrong by applying the techniques outlined in his methods.

Great resource if you think you might do Saladin-Method poultry

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

Extremely informative, detailed, and even fun to read. If you know who Salatin is you probably know what you are buying here. Amazon is going to make me write a bunch more stuff because they won't post brief reviews. I'm quite good at lengthy, but I think it's abominable that I am not allowed to be brief on those few occasions when all I want to write is, "Extremely informative, detailed, and even fun to read. If you know who Salatin is you probably know what you are buying here."

Absolutely Essential, comprehensive, extremely relevant twenty years after.

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2012

Superb.

Joel Salatin lays it all out. We use the ration for layers all year, from chick to adult.

We realized feeding less and butchering at a lower weight was a much better mode of operation.

First year of following this, 33 chickens, not one death. 6-7 weeks old at butchering, 3.5-4.5lbs. dressed chickens. Completely positive experience.

Second year 110 chickens, nearly twenty deaths (overfed- heart and lung failure, perhaps acidosis?) 7-8 weeks old at butchering, 4.5-6lbs. dressed chickens. Once we realized we were feeding too much we slowed down deaths, and eliminated them but it was scary to see so many lost. Online communities can really help diagnose.

This book is an extremely useful and comprehensive reference tool. From shelter to butchering, marketing and value. Joel Salatin will pump you up and let you believe in honest food and your part in it. Anyone can do it. I recommend you do it. We started on a quarter acre in a suburb allotment, the heavily treed backyard of my parents. They did so well we moved out to a farm 15 minutes away the next year. If you could raise the birds at your home it would be extremely appealing, to an even greater degree because the constant contact and supervision you could exercise. Still, even being removed from them, it was a great experience.

Some of the conditions have changed, internet is now a great tool for marketing. It may be a little more to regulate according to your government but this book needs very little updating, just start. You will make your own adjustments and find it satisfying.

Excellent.

Reviewed in Canada on October 11, 2017

Very good information, and actually includes several ways to make money with chickens, or plain just how to raise good quality meat and eggs for your own use. The main focus is broilers, but does cover laying hens as well. Excellent book, and includes updates since it was written a number of yrs ago.
