 A Must-Have for Anyone With Chickens March 11, 2006
Robert Plamondon (Blodgett, OR USA)

This book is filled cover-to-cover with advice and techniques you aren't going to find anywhere else. Written by and for farmers raising free-range eggs and pastured broilers, "Raising Poultry on Pasture" is a book with its sleeves rolled up, telling you what really works -- and what doesn't.
Even if you have only a couple of chickens in your backyard, this book will pay for itself with the ideas and better understanding you'll get from it.
Compiled from ten years of the American Pastured Poultry Association's fine newsletter (APPPA Grit!), 130 member-written articles cover every aspect of practical poultrykeeping.
My wife and I keep hundreds of free-range hens and also raise pastured broilers. We have been APPPA members for years. In spite of having most of the Grit back issues around here somewhere, this book, nicely laid out and fully indexed, is what we go to for reference.

We've read Joel Salatin's book on pastured poultry. This book has articles by Mr. Salatin as well as pastured poultry producers from many other parts of the country. As a result you get a lot of of different methods to evaluate, some of which will work better for you in your location and climate than others. If you are interested in pastured poultry, but not very experienced, this book is a great investment.

As pastured poultry producers, this is our bible. We would not recommend anyone raising poultry without it. It is our go-to for everything.
