We are urban chicken farmers, keeping between 6 – 12 chickens at any given time. I am definitely the chicken lover at the house and my husband generously acquiesces to my poultry hobby. It’s really an awesome past time because it gets you outside breathing fresh air. Rain or shine; hot or cold! Fresh eggs are the big fat bonus! Plus, if you love birds, this is just a natural place to spend your time.
Even though we’ve been raising chickens for the past 13 years, I’m still learning. There’s always some new challenge, like hens that don’t lay or critters that attack the coop. But, I stay in for that daily gratifying experience of walking to the coop and gathering 3 to 5 fresh eggs, with golden yokes and deep brown shells. That’s what I love the best!

Love the chicken story, do more . How about cleaning the coop ordeal? Best one of all the tales is when one of kids got locked in the chicken coop.

I wonder how many people grew up with chickens in their yard. I bet the stories would go on and on

I am an urban chicken farmer too! Lately I have been letting them freer range and the eggs are even more fabulous!
