Fresh Eggs Daily: Raising Happy, Healthy Chickens...Naturally Kindle Edition

I ordered this book from Amazon in May, 2016. At that point, I had been keeping a flock of 10-15 chickens for about 4 years and was following Lisa’s blog. I decided to get the book because there were topics that I would research on a regular basis – how to cool off chickens in the summer, how to prep the coop for the winter, natural deworming recipe, coop cleaner spray, herb use (for laying, for health, etc). All of this information and much more is in this book! My copy is dog eared, marked with post-its, and bookmarks and was signed by Lisa when I met her at a local event. I highly recommend this book to new and experienced chicken keepers.

As new chicken keepers we knew we wanted to get off on the right foot. Lisa Steele and Fresh Eggs Daily have become our go-to for answers, information and advise. We have started to implement almost everything in her book and can’t wait until the fall 2018 release of her latest book. If you are a newbie to chicken raising and want solid time tested accurate advise and instruction BUY THIS BOOK!

This book is not as great as everyone's review lead me to believe. It's cute, but filled with advice that contradicts current poultry science. For instance, her recommendation of Diatomaceous Earth. So I think she is somehow popular and I don't doubt her experience, but holding herself up as an expert who's advice we should follow because...well...she says these are good practices, does not inspire confidence in me. Hmmm.... I could hold myself out there as an expert in a lot of things, then, because...well, just ask me....I'll tell you that I know what I've experienced. So if she were a friend who has raised chickens for a long time, I would listen to her and then check out her advice to see who else says these things, but I would not pay her for her opinion. Which is basically what I did, buying this book. I would not buy it again. It's not even coffee table worthy for it's photos. I say, search for better resources out there.

The negative reviews on this book are clearly written by people who have been asked to write nasty reviews from another "author". It's so obvious. A shame they are allowed. But the true professional and the one with the true knowledge is the Author, Lisa Steele. She is kind and well educated on raising chickens, chicks, ducks, gardening, etc. This is a great book, as are all of her other- books. Follow her on Instragram and Facebook. You will not be dissapointed.

I love this book! It’s my “go to” for so many aspects of chicken keeping. The gentle, natural approach has helped guide me through raising two small groups of backyard hens. I am now on my third group (my older hens are going strong), and keep returning to this book for tips. Great book, great website, and honest, realistic approach to keeping chickens. Highly recommend.

The use of herbs in raising chickens is new to me.By purchasing Lisa Steele's book,I learned more on the happinessof backyard chickens.With the trend now of a few fowl in every back yard,this book makes it easy to think in depthabout how to enjoy both the hens and the eggs they give us.This is one book that deserves a spot on your coffee table.Beautifully written,with plenty of photos,this would make a nice gift to those just starting out in the wonderful worldof chicken keeping!

Great book! I had never raised chickens before and anyone who is thinking about it or has chickens needs to get this book! My hens years old now and raised range free with a large coop and lovely little hen laying house with lots of windows! Never could have made it though the first year without this book!!!!!

Great book... this is useful for a first time chicken owner but it certainly isn't a "beginner's guide." It's pretty in-depth, but short and easy to read. You *may* want to check out some of the more basic info on her website too if you're a complete beginner.I like that the book focuses on natural treatments and setups for the chickens. I like the idea of avoiding expensive vet bills and chemicals in my birds/yard. I particularly like all of the suggestions for herbs to add to their coop and feed, recipes for chicken food, and natural treatments for common problems.I'm reading her other book, Duck Eggs Daily, too and I ended up deciding on ducks instead due to the setup of my yard and neighborhood. Of course, I'm keeping this book "just in case" I end up with ducks and chickens at some point because I hear that's how it works.

Fabulous book, great pictures, interesting ideas, natural remedies some of which I have used on my own chickens with very good results, every chicken owner should have this book!!!

so much information and I love the natural way of keeping chickens without man made medications. I have already put the herbs in my coop not only is it good for my chickens when I open the coop to clean it smell wonderful and I didn't realise there was so many herbs and plants the chickens can benefit from this book is really worth buying

very informative book

Loved this book. I am new to chooks but have found the advice invaluable. I'm now expanding on my herb garden!

A great little book, with lots of ideas to keep your hens healthy naturally.
