Our Story
I am a small backyard hobbyist located in eastern Georgia who spends most days snuggling chickens, training roosters, vegetable gardening, reading, blogging, and raising a teenage daughter, while my dear husband of 25 yrs helps to build our homesteading dream in our modest suburban neighborhood. I keep a wide variety of heavy breed layers that are named, live in a designer coop, free range in my backyard, and are all around spoiled to death. Everything I know about keeping chickens I have learned from personal experience, scientific poultry journals, the internet's vast assortment of chicken bloggers, local chicken club friends, and memories of my own family's chicken keeping days. Chickens are my favorite kind of therapy for relieving stress, staying active, and bringing healthier eating to my family through wonderful fresh eggs. We practice compassionate realism on our homestead and support many different methods of keeping poultry. Feel free to comment, share, or message me about your own experiences with keeping chickens or tending your veggies. I just love sharing the fun I have with my backyard babies, one glorious cluck at a time!
