Chickens are the first livestock animals that we added to LL Farm.
Our flock consists of a variety of breeds that provide us with fresh eggs daily!
We have a plan in place for flock rotation every two - three years.
We built our own chicken coop and have a fenced in chicken yard for them to enjoy, yet stay safe from predators.
I am proud to write about our chickens for a website called Community Chickens.
It is a website by Mother Earth News and Grit magazines, full of information from other chicken keepers also.
Please click on a post below to read about our adventures in raising chickens and things that we have learned (and are learning).
