Online Chicken Resources

I wish we could set up a "links" page. In the meantime, lets make this the place to post links to interested web sites and information. Here are a few of my favourites to start. Please add more!

BackyardChickens.com - http://www.backyardchickens.com/

Great information on everything from breeds to first aid. An extremely active forum and lots of great info/ideas on coop design.

Wing Clipping - http://www.backyardchickens.com/LC-wingclipping.html

Simple, easy to follow instructions that will help keep your birds out of your neighbour's yard!

Henderson's Chicken Breed Chart - http://www.ithaca.edu/staff/jhenderson/chooks/chooks.html

Handy, quick reference guide that can help you figure out which breed(s) are right for you.
