Let’s be honest for a second. If you’ve ever spent time around chickens, you’ve probably wondered what’s going on inside those feathery little heads. You know, when they tilt their heads to the side like they’re judging your fashion choices, or when they follow you around the yard like you’re...

Introduction After 12 years my old budget chicken coop was falling apart and the rotted OSB siding riddled with holes was becoming a security risk. So in late 2021 I made the decision to move my chicken flock from their old coop to the barn next door originally built to house goats and sheep...

Have you ever looked out at your yard and noticed how some of your chickens just blend right into the scenery while others stick out like a bright red stop sign? If you have, you’re not alone. I’ve caught myself squinting into the bushes trying to find a sneaky hen, only to realize she was right...

If you’ve ever walked past your chicken coop at night with just a flashlight in your hand, you know chickens can be a little… unsettling. They stare. They make strange sounds. Sometimes they do things that could fit right into a scary movie. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love chickens. But if I...
