Chickens in the garden

In Belgium, municipalities offer chickens to residents to reduce the amount of organic waste.
Velt, as an organisation committed to sustainability and ecological preservation, capitalises on this trend with this book, aiming to ensure that the process is also sustainable and ecologically sound.

The accumulated knowledge and years of practical experience of the organisation's members make this a book that everyone who already owns chickens or plans to keep them should read.

It provides extensive explanations on various topics, references to addresses/organisations for advice, purchasing local breeds, organic chickens, availability of organic feeds, and even museums.

This book also serves as a strong plea for the preservation of (endangered) local breeds, which are increasingly being pushed into the background with the rise of hybrid production breeds.
The following advice/quote to specifically choose organically raised chickens clearly indicates the heart from which this book was written.

When you consciously choose organic chickens, you can be sure that this chicken has had a chicken-worthy existence up to that point.
