Years ago my beautiful wife and I were talking at church when she said “we ought to get some chickens”.
No lie, a minute later someone walked by and said, “do any of you want some chickens?”
Shocked and excited we had to say, “YES! BUT (and that’s a BIG but) we knew nothing about raising chickens.

How hard could it be, right?
Wrong.
That night we put our 4 adult chickens (affectionately called Uno, Dos, Tres and Cuatro, in honor of our recent stint in Honduras) into a vacant horse stall.
Tragedy struck yours truly (aka the uninformed and ill-prepared wanna-be chicken man).

If only I had someone I could trust to help me in a more “personal” manner. And, if I could have only seen some of the stuff in action (on video).
Well, I’ve created something special to help others learn. This is something I wish I would have had, but didn’t exist.
I’ve released a four part Video Series covering THE most crucial elements of raising chickens: Why Chickens (with Joel Salatin), Easily Get started and DIY mobile coops.
