If you’re like most people I know, you’re familiar with plenty of publications. For example, there’s a reasonable chance that you subscribe to The New York Times and/or Forbes. But there are probably also publications to which you’ve had no exposure at all, and one of them could just be Backyard Poultry.

The “about” page of Backyard Poultry‘s Facebook profile describes the publication as:

… your best source for information to raise more and healthier backyard chickens for poultry, eggs and fun! Whether you live on a farm, in a suburban neighborhood or are raising chickens in an urban environment, we have the details you need to raise a productive and enjoyable flock of your own.

The United States was once a country of farmers. And readers of Backyard Poultry can be farmers, too — regardless of whether they live on a farm, in suburbia or in the big city.

Backyard Poultry is published bi-monthly, i.e. six times a year. Articles in the most recent issue include:

  • “Using the Deep Litter Method in the Coop”
  • “Breeds That Go The Extra Mile”
  • “Host Your Own Tour de Coop”
  • “Age Appropriate Chicken Chores for Children”

Backyard Poultry‘s website also publishes stories daily.

If chickens aren’t your thing, the publication is also part of the Countryside network of publications, which includes Backyard Goats and Backyard Beekeping.
