Raising Chickens Indoors isn't just for those who are new to chicken-keeping.

Raising Chickens Indoors isn't just for those who are new to chicken-keeping. Maybe you already keep chickens outdoors but want to expand your flock and have no more space in your garden or backyard, or need to bring your birds indoors on a short- or long-term basis to protect them from thieves or predators.

An indoor coop for a broody hen is a great idea, so she can sit on eggs and raise her chicks away from the noisy flock. Sick, injured and old chickens can also benefit from time spent under your roof, being easy to keep a watchful eye over and give help to when needed.

Written in the same friendly, conversational style as the author's first bird book chart-topper, Chickens As Pets, this book covers everything from parasites to hatching chicks, dealing with dander and fending off flies.

Raising Chickens Indoors is crammed with photos (viewable in colour on colour-capable devices) and shares a website, chickensaspets.uk.com, with its predecessor. Readers can freely join and benefit from the ever-growing, helpful and extraordinarily friendly communities following 'chickensaspets' on Twitter and the Chickens As Pets Facebook and Google+ pages.

Written by an author with years of experience in poultry-keeping and a background in print and online journalism, Raising Chickens Indoors is a high-quality and fun read for anyone with an interest in poultry and the urban chicken movement.
