Hatching Chicken Eggs
I remember when I started raising backyard chickens I would’ve honestly never considered hatching chicks…until a couple of years ago I decided if I were going to educate backyard chicken owners on every aspect of raising backyard chickens, hatching chicks would be a fun thing to try!

Repurpose Old Tires Into Dust Baths
It never ceases to amaze me how great my chickens are at digging holes! They love to scratch around, wiggle down and flap around the dirt To keep themselves clean, chickens take dust baths This summer, I’m working on making a dedicated area for my chickens’ dust bath I’ll keep you posted on if they actually use this area or if they continue to just dig dust baths wherever they want Haha!
