Sorry if you've seen this before. I'm sending it again because I think my ISP

Hi,

I'm considering taking over a weed and car tyre infested patch of land that a
neighbour has given up on. My though is to install a chicken coup, maybe with a
half greenhouse. Are there any particular breeds of chicken that are suitable
for beginers, based in UK Midlands? I did hear of one guy who started a
successful organic egg business with rescued battery hens, which were in a
pretty sorry state when he got them.

Any good books for beginers?
