Our family got into keeping backyard chickens when our daughter raised meat chickens for her FFA project. It was overwhelming, even with the teacher's help. By the end of the project we knew we had to get chickens of our own. Keeping backyard chickens can be a fun and rewarding hobby. When we tell people we have chickens, we often hear "I would love to have chickens". Some aren't sure if they have the time, some aren't sure if they will be a good fit, and others just don't know how to get started. We want to offer anyone that thinks they would enjoy chickens the chance to try it out without the worry and committment. Our hope is to turn chicken enthusiasts into chicken owners!
