The Joy of Backyard Chickens: A Journey to Chicken Enthusiasm

For many, the decision to raise backyard chickens is a practical one, driven by a desire for fresh eggs and a more sustainable lifestyle. But for some, it’s a passion that goes beyond mere functionality. My wife, for instance, was absolutely “chicken crazy” when we first brought home our feathered friends. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and it’s a joy that many can relate to. If you’re considering joining the ranks of backyard chicken enthusiasts, you’re in for a treat. The journey is not just about collecting eggs, but about building a connection with nature and fostering a sense of community.

Our Chicken Coop

This is where our chickens live—their very own custom-built home here in Pleasant Valley. We designed and built this coop ourselves, learning plenty along the way. When we first started, we had just 12 hens, excited to collect our first eggs. Fast forward to today, and our flock has grown to 3 roosters and around 22 hens (we’ve honestly lost count at this point). It’s been quite the adventure watching our little homestead grow!
