I love anything country and homesteading. When I go to the used book store they have a sustainable living and homesteading section. I go there first. Even if it's from the '70s I get it.
I do get Hobby Farms magazine, Dairy Goat Journal, did get the BYPoultry, but let it run out. Countryside mag is good, too. And Acres USA, Back Home. All good. Farm and Ranch is, too.
I have an old chicken book called The Chicken Book. It's pretty helpful.

| Story's Guide to Raising Chickens is another good, practical poultry book. |

I just got my Countryside magazine. There's an article on winter care for your chickens. Great mag, too. Lots of interesting articles there.
