The Amazing Scavenger Hunt-n-Peck with Awesome PRIZES!

If you love to hunt and peck as much as your chickens do, if you would love a GREAT new book on wholesome, all-natural ways to keep your flock healthy and happy, and if you might be just a wee bit competitive, then get ready to have a blast!

Our friend Lisa Steele of Fresh Eggs Daily has offered up a signed copy of her new book Fresh Eggs Daily: Raising Happy, Healthy Chickens... Naturally to the First Place winner of this scavenger hunt-n-peck!

If you are already a fan of Lisa's blog then you're probably already excited about the release of her new book. We at Natural Chicken Keeping are big fans of FED!! I have told Lisa before that while Fresh Eggs Daily is the "Gingham & Lace" chicken keeping blog, Natural Chicken Keeping is the "Torn Denim and Old Shoe Leather" blog. Yet we both have the same goal - spreading the word about all-natural methods of raising chickens. 

We're hoping that as soon as Lisa's life settles down a bit following the release of her book we'll see her out on our ever-growing Natural Chicken Keeping Forum, sharing her great chemical-free advice, recipes and creative ideas. You'll come see us, right Lisa?

Our Second Place contestant will receive a brand new 12 oz. tube of Nu-Stock Ointment!

OK - enough small talk! Ready??
