Minnie Rose Lovgreen's Recipe For Raising Chickens

In one of those remarkable twists of fate, young Englishwoman Minnie Rose was scheduled to sail across the Atlantic Ocean on the Titanic in 1912, but she grew restless when the ship wasn't ready to sail, and she hoped on another ship. In 1920 she moved to Bainbridge Island, near Seattle, where she married Danish-born Leo Lovgreen, had a family and raised lots of chickens on what grew to become a thriving 170-acre dairy farm for 30 years.

When Minnie Rose Lovgreen died in 1975, little did she know that her practical, no-nonsense advice for raising happy chickens would help feed many thousands of people years later.

It seems now that more and more people are raising their own chickens every day. A young female hen will start laying eggs at about 6 months. She will lay about 20 dozen eggs in her first year--almost a thousand in her lifetime.

Over 100 North American cities now have bylaws allowing people to raise three to five chickens in an enclosed area, and many others are actively considering similar provisions. Baby chicks are one of the hottest sales items in local feed stores across America.

To help feed the growing frenzy, the 3rd edition of Minnie Rose Lovgreen's Recipe for Raising Chickens is making it easy for chicken lovers everywhere, offering a lifetime of hard-earned experience and skill.

What We Thought:
We decided a few years ago that we wanted to raise chickens. We live in the country and had plenty of land for it.  Last year we finally took the plunge and got our first round of chicks.  Our now four year old had to have a say in all the different types of chickens out there.  We have played a lot of it by ear as far as raising them goes and it has been an adventure but a fun one!

My husband and I have both enjoyed reading the Minnie Rose Lovgreen's Recipe for Raising Chickens and would recommend it for anyone that is considering taking the plunge and adding this wonderful little guys to your home!

This book is only 36-pages long but is so full of great advice!  Minnie Rose Lovgreen's Recipe for Raising Chickens is available nationwide with a SRP of $13.00.
