Research:

I like to study the research into chickens to see if it can help backyard keepers improve the lives of their hens. I go trawling through the scientific studies to find the real truth.

Thanks to a study from the 1920's we now know how much grit a chicken needs in it's diet and how long it lasts inside them.

Find out what the science says about whether eggs should incubated on their sides or upright and whether or not periodic cooling helps incubation and makes for stronger chicks.

I am an experienced poultry keeper who has been raising chickens for over 20 years in challenging conditions in Yorkshire, UK. I am passionate about helping people learn about and enjoy the benefits of keeping chickens. I love raising chickens because they are such friendly and productive animals, providing me with fresh eggs, meat, and fertiliser, and they are a lot of fun to watch.
