Meet Donna & Mark
Helping Backyard Chicken Keepers Raise Healthy, Happy Birds.
Their Story
From Six Chicks to a Whole Flock
The Beginning
A small suburban yard, a stack of library books, and a dream of fresh eggs each morning.
First Chickens
Six chicks in a cardboard brooder — and a very fast education in heat, feed and mess.
Lessons Learned
A predator raid, a bout of respiratory illness, and a coop rebuilt the right way.
Growing Community
Neighbors started asking questions, then friends of friends, then complete strangers.
The Coop Scoop
In 2023 we started filming everything we'd learned — and the flock kept growing.
