Hobby Farms Chickens: Tending a Small-Scale Flock for Pleasure and Profit is geared toward the hobby farmer looking to begin his or her own flock of chickens on a small farm or even backyard. Author Sue Weaver, who keeps various exotic breeds and countless barnies on her farm, is an expert on all things livestock and an avowed chicken fanatic. This photo-filled guide begins with ?Chickens 101” and details the physiology of chickens, members of the Phasianidea family, providing beginning hobby farmers with a basic education in the chicken’s unique physical makeup (from wings and feathers to beaks and digestive tracts), behavior, mating, and its unexpected high intelligence. The author offers advice on choosing the right types of chickens to get started: meat, egg, or dual purpose, or maybe even ?just for pets.” The book is an excellent resource for selecting which breed of chicken is best for the hobby farmer, based on the birds’ traits, such as aggression, personality, noise factor, tolerance for heat, confinement, cold, etc. Chickens also provides information on selecting or building a suitable chicken coop for the hobby farmer’s brood, outlining the basic requirements (lighting, ventilation, flooring, waterers, insulation, safety, and so forth). A detailed chapter on feeding chickens offers essential guidance on nutrition, commercial feeds, supplements, and water requirements. For the chicken hobby farmer looking to start with a clutch of baby chicks (from his own hen or an outside source), the author provides excellent info on incubators and hatching as well as all of the accommodations and preparation required for hens in the nest box. A chapter on selling eggs and broilers provides timetables, requirements, and dos and don’ts to get a hobby farmer’s business off on the right foot. All chicken keepers will find the chapter on health of particular value, with expert advice on preventing common problems and dealing various maladies and diseases. Much detailed information about all of the topics in the book is encapsulated in sidebars. A glossary of over 125 terms plus a detailed resource section of chicken and poultry associations, books, and websites complete the volume. Fully indexed.Shipping Notes

Game changer for hot drinks
Color: Black
This coffee mug warmer works great and keeps my coffee at the perfect temperature without overheating. Love the choice in temperatures feature. It’s simple to use, heats quickly, and fits my mugs well. A great upgrade for enjoying hot coffee longer at my work desk.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST MUG WARMER! WORKS PERFECTLY!
Color: Black
This is the best mug warmer I've ever had! It's sleek, keeps drink hot or even warm if that's what you prefer. I bought two, my niece liked mine so much she got one, and I'm getting one for my guest who comes to my house.

YEOSEN 3 Temperature Mug Warmer
Color: Black
Wow! There really are warmer mug warmers than lukewarm! This is one of them. Who wants lukewarm coffee? The YEOSEN 3 Temperature Mug Warmer on the MEDIUM temperature setting keeps my coffee HOT enough. Not lukewarm, or barely warm (even at the bottom of the cup). In fact, I use the lower temp. settings, while the level of liquid goes down. The lowest temperature is HOT enough ...not lukewarm. It's not burning, but HOT.
I bought it because the reviews said it kept the coffee much warmer than lukewarm. And it does.
The point is, when I walk away from my desk for 15 minutes, the temperature of my coffee is still satisfyingly hot. After all, what is lukewarm? It's a few degrees above normal body temperature! 137 is hotter than that!
The unit automatically shuts off (the Off-On button is on the bottom of the unit positioned under the hot plate and the weight of the cup pushes the button to turn it on), when you pick up the cup it shuts off.
I don't like the auto shut off button on the bottom of the unit. It shuts off and on every time you take a drink. Lift the cup up and it shuts off, set it back down and it turns back on. Wish you could shut that feature off. A piece of tape? but unplugging it from the wall is inconvenient. Maybe, because it's so much warmer than lukewarm, it needs some kind of safety feature.
But, all in all, I would definitely buy another one.

BEST mug warmer
Color: Black
This is the best of the many mug warmers available online. It has 3 temperatures. I use the highest - 167 degrees. I like my coffee HOT. With this warmer I don’t have to return to the microwave as often to reheat my coffee. It is very easy to use- takes large mugs as well as regular sized cups. I have looked everywhere for a “flat bottomed” mug . All the mugs I have found have a rim on the bottom which prevents complete contact with the warmer. However the warmer works with the “bottom rimed “ mugs. I use my warmer for the end table by my recliner. I am considering purchasing a second warmer for my desktop. I definitely recommend this as the BEST mug warmer. I have been using it many hours daily for over a month as I am retired. It works fine. I did just purchase a second one. It came the day after I ordered it. Now I can enjoy a hot beverage by my recliner or on my desktop. I purchased a silicone cover/lid for my mug. This really keeps my beverage hot. However when you remove the lid the condensation on the underside of the lid drips. I keep a paper towel/napkin close by to catch the condensation.

Warming Up to My New Mug Warmer
Color: Black
I keep mine next to my computer monitor so I always have that quick caffeine jolt nearby. The three temperature settings are convenient and the LED readouts ensure your brew is as hot as you want it to be. Not sure about reviews saying this warmer makes drinks lukewarm because it doesn't. In fact, it can be used to reheat drinks in just a few minutes. I also like that it's a 120v plug-in and it's not the weak, slow, and temperamental USB powered one. One tip: The on-off switch is on the underside of the warmer. It must be depressed for it to power on. If the red LED doesn't indicate the temperature, then the warmer is not on (or the button is broken). You don't have to turn the unit over either to press the power button, just press down on your mug until the temperature LED turns on. The other hint is that this warmer can get very hot very quickly. While the edges stay cool to the touch, never touch the outlined hotplate area or you might get burned. Wait for it too cool down or use a pair of oven mitts---it's that hot.
