Hey friends, welcome back to the old-fashioned on-purpose podcast.

So this season we're talking to some of my favorite authors, and we can't talk about

books without talking about some of my favorite home-setting books.

And I know that I have seen a lot of chicken books come over my desk over the last 10 years

or so, but there's one in particular that I recommend and I reach for more than any

of the others.

And I am so very excited to have the author of that book joining me today.

Harvey Assyri is truly a chicken expert and a regenerative, sustainable home-setter himself.

He's been published in Backyard Poultry, Mother Earth News, and more.

And of course, he is very well known for his book, The Small Scale Poultry Flog.

So welcome Harvey.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to be here.

So I was really excited when I think it was your publicist or your publisher reached out

and said that you were redoing this landmark book in a second edition, and she asked

if I wanted a copy.

And of course, I was like, absolutely.

And then I'm like, what if we had Harvey on the podcast?

So that's how this came about.

But I know many of my audience have the first edition of your book.

Can you real quick, before we get into all the questions, tell them the difference between

the two editions and what they can expect?
