How it began


I guess it started out about 8 years ago. My experiment with chickens. It began when I visited a neighbor and low and behold she had a hen house in her back yard. Now that is not too unusual except we lived in a nice suburban neighborhood, no cows or horses anywhere in sight. It did get my mind rolling and after a lot of research and a book on how to build chicken coops, I was on my way. I ordered "The Poultry House Construction by Michael Roberts" online. Some how I was able to get my husband on board and we built our first chicken coop together. It took us three Saturdays and $200.00. After the coop was finished we needed to order our chickens. I highly recommend you not order chickens until you have a place to house them. It is amazing how fast they grow.
