Chickens in the Yard


I have been fascinated by chickens all my life.  My grandfather raised chickens, but I was much too young and much too shy around him to learn much about them.  They were not his pets, they worked for him.

I never honestly thought I would be a chicken owner.  When raising chickens in urban backyards began to be a popular thing to do, I still did not honestly think I would be a chicken owner.  I thought it silly to even bring it up to my husband as a possibility.

Was I wrong!  He not only embraced the idea of being a Chicken Farmer, but has given countless hours (and nearly countless dollars) to provide them with a safe, comfortable home in our back yard.  This part of my blog is dedicated to my wonderful husband, my “guidman” and to my precious hens, “our girls”.
