Hi everyone!

It’s been a few years since I was last in the chicken world, but I’m excited (and honestly a little emotional) to say I’m back at it again.

About 5 years ago, I had a small flock that I loved deeply — until a predator attack wiped out the entire coop in one heartbreaking night. It took the wind out of me, and I had to step away from raising birds for a while.

Fast forward to now — I’ve got 8 acres, a lot more time, and a whole new vision: building a real-deal homestead from the ground up. Chickens are the first step. Ducks and geese came next. And with a new, secure pen (and maybe an over-the-top coop in progress ), I’m starting fresh and bringing some fun with me. We’re calling it: Mother Flucker Farms. Yep — it’s going to be that kind of place!

Current Flock:

• Chickens: Just getting started again, but excited to build a colorful, hardy mixed flock.
• Ducks & Geese: Added to the mix for eggs, pest control, and personality.

Also planning to plant a few blueberry bushes in the run and create a little mini food forest the flock can enjoy (carefully protected from their destructive curiosity, of course ).

I’m here to learn, share, and connect with other chicken keepers who’ve been through the ups and downs. Looking forward to swapping stories, ideas, and maybe a few coop designs along the way.

Thanks for having me!

Where the birds are happy, and the farmer's a little unhinged (in the best way)

I was recently asked to change my profile image, and I want to sincerely apologize if my previous one — or the use of my old Scottish family name — caused any offense. It certainly wasn’t my intention.


Also, to anyone who was flustered by my use of the word “cockrel” (even without spelling it out fully), I do apologize for that as well.


In the spirit of community harmony, I’ve updated my avatar to something a little more warm and fuzzy — featuring a friendly, overall-wearing duck shepherd. I hope this new look brings smiles instead of squawks.


God rest my Aunt Shirley Flucker, whom I proudly named the farm after — she would've found all of this quack-tastically amusing.

NEW AVATAR:

STILL SAME FARM.
