This book is the ideal handbook for anyone who already has chickens or would really like them. Andrea Graves has a doctorate in animal behaviour science, and using this knowledge, as well as her practical experience with keeping chickens, she has developed an approach to keeping happy, healthy chickens that aligns with their primal instincts. In this book the reader will learn how to fit chickens into your backyard, even if it is small, satisfy their foraging obsessions, provide what they need to stay happy and healthy, manage their social lives and use them to grow healthy food. Written specifically for New Zealanders, this readable and entertaining guide brings together the best contemporary knowledge about keeping chickens, a must-read for anyone with, or considering getting, chickens.
Biology and the natural environment captivate Andrea. She has zoology degrees from Waikato and Oxford universities, and did her doctoral studies at the latter on stress in chickens. She edits for other authors, but mainly writes features about science-related topics for publications such as the ' New Zealand Listener' , focusing on the tricky balance - or lack of - between humans and nature. Andrea lives with her family in Hamilton and loves reading, bush walking, growing food and keeping chickens.
