Big Rock Alpaca Farm

Here are some resources pertaining to keeping chickens, guineas and other fowl on a small farm.

How to build a chicken tractor is an article I wrote on building a chicken tractor.

Books on Amazon (affiliate links):

Chicken Tractor: The Permaculture Guide to Happy Hens and Healthy Soil

Gardening with Guineas: A Step-By-Step Guide to Raising Guinea Fowl on a Small Scale

Storey’s Guide to Raising Chickens, 3rd Edition

Holy Shit: Managing Manure To Save Mankind,  I haven’t read this one but I read The Contrary Farmer (Real Goods Independent Living Book) also by Gene Logsdon and it was very good.

There are many good resources available.  I own the first three of these books and feel comfortable recommending them to any first time chicken or guinea owner.

This list was first publishes as a resource for a talk I’m giving on keeping chickens and guineas on an alpaca farm at Brown’s Orchard while we’re there for our Alpaca Valentines. Here is a link to outline I used for the talk on Farm Fowl.
