When starting a backyard chicken coop, one of the first decisions you'll have to make is which breed of chicken you will raise. Each breed has specific characteristics and can be used for different purposes. In general, though, chicken breeds break down into three groups: egg layers, meat chickens, and dual-purpose chickens.
Egg layers produce both a nice quantity and quality of egg. Egg color can also be a factor here. Despite what you have seen in the market, not all chicken eggs are white or brown Some chickens lay blue, green or pink eggs which may be less desirable.
The Leghorn chicken is the best egg layer that is commonly used by beginners. A mature hen can lay up to 280 eggs in one year. The eggs are large, and white to off-white in color. Leghorns tend to be smaller than other backyard chickens, and have a good nature suitable for a backyard flock. Many commercial farms use the Leghorn as their egg layer of choice.

Problems You Should Expect with Raising Backyard Chickens
Meat chickens, sometimes called fryers or broilers, are raised for the meat they can provide. If meat is what you want from your flock, then size and weight matter. Some good meat chickens, like the New Hampshire Red, can grow up to 9 pounds. You'll also want to make sure the skin color and shape of the chicken breed is suitable for cooking. In general, a nice rounded chicken with yellow skin (under the feathers) is preferred.
Most backyard hobbyists want the best of both worlds. This is where the third group, dual-purpose chickens, comes in. Dual-purpose chickens are fair to good egg layers, but can also be raised to a decent size for cooking later in life.
Keeping backyard chickens is increasing its popularity.
There are many reasons for this.
Perhaps it is to have a ready source of eggs and meat or as a backyard help in pest control or perhaps it is just because they are fun to watch.
Whatever the reason, chickens can be a great source of enjoyment if properly managed and given appropriate care.
Poultry raising can be an inexpensive and fulfilling hobby and pastime.
Also, consuming eggs has many incredible benefits to our health and body.
The white and yolk are rich in nutrients that include vitamins, minerals, and proteins.
The eggs are also one of the most versatile and used ingredients in cooking.
But for chickens to produce eggs, we also need to raise them first.
Don't worry if you don't know anything about raising them.
Thanks to this book "Raising Chickens for Eggs," you can do it even if it is your first time.
This book does not only help you to learn how to raise chickens, but it also lets you know all the things that you should do when you raise a chicken.
This book includes a step-by-step process starting from the way you can build the chicken coop.
It is divided into five chapters that include:
- A guide to learn how to start raising a chicken, how to create its cage and more.
- How to choose which breed to raise according to the level of egg production.
- Introduction of your daily tasks (such as feeding the chicken, what amount to provide, and more).
- A summary the benefits of producing your own eggs and how you can help your chickens lay more eggs.

Also, with rising costs of eggs due to transportation and energy cost increases, having eggs straight from the hen house 20 feet from your backdoor is a viable and money-saving method of food production.
