Today we’re thrilled to announce a new series, called The HOMEGROWN Bookshelf, in partnership with the venerable Mother Earth. The series will pair a practical and informative article on MotherEarthNews.com with an ongoing discussion on HOMEGROWN.org.

Chick Days coverThe first installment in the HOMEGROWN Bookshelf series comes from Storey Publishing author and beloved blogger (and farmer!) Jenna Woginrich. Jenna’s new book, Chick Days is a charming and comprehensive primer for anyone interested in keeping chickens (that’s a lot of us).

Read Jenna’s blog post “Get Started With Chickens,” then pipe in with your thoughts and questions in the Backyard Chickens Group on HOMEGROWN.org. Jenna will be answering your questions for the rest of April — ask her anything chicken-related!
