Chicken Tractor Table of Contents	CITY CHICKS: Keeping Micro-flocks of Chickens as Garden Helpers, Compost Makers, Bio-recyclers and Local Food Suppliers, by Patricia Foreman 460 ppb TEXT BOOK for the Backyard Chicken Keeper Certification Course. The 10-class online course with 24/7 replay links to classes. Facilitated by author Patricia Foreman There are many books about keeping chickens, City Chicks is the only book that explaines how to put them to work by emply their skill sets. The local foods movement is mushrooming and chickens are the mascot. City Chicks brings fresh, innovative and new information about keeping — and employing — backyard flocks of urban chickens. City Chicks describes in detail how to develope your very own “Chicken Have More Plan” for increased self-sufficiency. Learn how to create hyper-fertile soils to produce hyper-nutritious food from your gardens. Instead of using oil-based chemicals, chickens can help produce fertilizer and compost; they can turn yard waste into garden soil. Hens can also be used as mobile, clucking, (organic and non-toxic), pesticiders, herbiciders, and insecticiders. And chickens can be of community and civic service. One standard chicken eats about 8 pounds of food “waste” a month. A few hundred households keeping micro-flocks of laying hens can divert tons of yard and food biomass “waste” from trash collection saving municipalities millions, even billions of tax payer dollars. This 460 page book has over 120 photos, sketches, and tables bringing visual clarity and simplicity to complex concepts. To see two examples click here: • Chicken Skill Sets (page 18) and, • Chickens in Recycling and Food Production Systems (page 19). City Chicks ushers in a new paradigm of how to use these versatile, clucking, feathered bipeds in a variety of roles that help decrease carbon foot-prints, save tax payer dollars and support local food supply production. City Chicks shows how you can: Have fresh, heart-healthy eggs, daily from your backyard home flock. Employ your chicken’s “skill sets” as garden workers, organic pesticiders, herbiciders, fertilizers, compost creators and top soil enhancers. Take the best care of your flock. Be a Chicken Whisperer. Be a Primary Poultry Health Care Practitioner to save on, and even avoid, vet bills. The Poultry’s Pharmacy shows you how to make and use effective, inexpensive home treatments. Draft and pass local laws allowing laying hens within your town or city. Avoid roosters and why you don’t want them. Do much, much more with chickens than you ever thought possible, including outrageous chicken tricks. City Chicks also explores the civic side of chickens and how they can be employed as clucking city workers helping to divert food and yard waste from landfills. This can save millions of tax payer dollars.

This book is filled with excellent adice so that everyone can confidently practice good earth stewardship, not to mention have a prize garden!". — Michael Metallo, President, National Gardening Association "In fact, City Chicks might well become 'The' reference bible for the burgeoning local foods movement." —Cathy Taibbi, Examiner.com "The focus is on how chickens fit in with so many other common needs and concerns of our century. This is a book for our times." J. D. Belanger, Editor Emeritus, Backyard Poultry Magazine "Another Take on Chick Lit. The chicken is still having her moment as the mascot and darling of the always-cresting locavore food movement. But as hipsters and foodies from New York to San Franciso embrace her charm and services—many people are struggling to learn how, exactly to care for her.

Retail $19.95 Sale $10.00 Signed by Author!	A Tiny Home to Call Your Own: Living Well in Just Right Houses by Patricia Foreman and Andy Lee, 208ppb You can live in an attractive, aesthetically appealing, upscale house AND you can do it so that it is quality built, architecturally beautiful, highly marketable and profitable. Small is beautiful and functional in housing. Smaller scale homes can be more livable, cozy, homey, enjoyable, low maintenance, and easy to clean. Tiny houses (300 sq.ft. to around 1,000 sq.ft.) can be more affordable and socially responsible than the current trend of "McMansionization" that is chewing up America. Some of them can be built on existing lots without requiring new land purchase. Impress neighbors with style and freedom rather than with large scale, impersonally built square footage. Uses for Tiny Houses include: • Anyone who wants less space to maintain in exchange for more time, freedom and money. • For folks to have an an independent place of their own, yet be close by, such as an elderly parent, student, or return-to-the-nest kid. • Newly weds, newly divorced, singles (for what ever reason) and for those with hermit-like tendencies who simply want their own space — to themselves. • Your personal "away space", home office, professional work space, writer's or artist's studio or rental for extra passive income. • As a starter house designed for future expansion as the family grows and money becomes available. • To host guests separately, they can be close by, but not" in your face" space. You know those visiting "in-law" stories. • A vacation home by the lake or in the woods — that doesn't cost a bundle AND has all the creature comforts of home.
