1. Young Chicken Farmers by Vickie Black

Good day dear Readers-
The Queen here with a fascinating non-fiction book for young farmers. Young Chicken Farmers, to be exact.  Vickie Black breaks down how to raise chickens so that children can understand. The book if full of wonderful pictures and easy to read details on what's required in caring for fowl. 

Since this isn't a book for pure enjoyment, or basic learning, I have no crafty ideas to share this week. Use this book if you want to teach your children about farming. The best way to learn is to let them do it. To enhance the experience, encourage them to keep a Chicken Journal of their discoveries each day while raising their own chicken.

Resources from Author's blog:
My favorite website is www.mypetchicken.com. They can ship as few as 3 chicks at a time. You’ll find all kinds of chicken supplies and an AWESOME variety of HELP topics.
Another great website is www.backyardchickens.com. Lots of fun stories and photos from other chicken lovers.


If possible, try raising a few chickens. Fresh eggs are wonderful and the experience children will get from learning to care for another creature can be life changing, while teaching them responsibility, compassion, and patience.
