Welcome to my K.I.S.S Quick Bites introduction to Raising Chickens. K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) Is part of a series of introductions to the world of homesteading and self-sufficiency. And ‘Quick Bites’ is all about putting essential information in such a way that it can be ‘swallowed whole’, and absorbed at one sitting – so to speak.
Chickens are perhaps one of the easiest of the farm animals to look after, and certainly one of the most instantly productive with regard to egg laying.

This publication lays out the top 5 things I believe must be right, before you will get the best out of your chickens.
