Frank Hyman
Frank Hyman believes in "happy wife, happy life." So when his wife, Chris, wanted chickens, he knew they would have chickens. (This isn't just a how-to book. It's also a love story. Chris loves chickens and he loves his wife.) But Frank wanted to still be able to go on vacation for two weeks and not come home to a flock of starving chickens. But he found that the conventional wisdom for keeping backyard birds demanded too much time, trouble and money. So as a carpenter, designer and former organic farmer he pulled together 21 very low-tech, very low-cost, very low-maintenance ways to keep their hens happy. In fact they spend less time on chicken chores than it takes to cook their plentiful chicken eggs. Frank calls it Hentopia. He wrote a c
