I consider myself an urban chicken farmer. Since 2014, I’ve always had a small backyard flock which currently consists of 4 hens. They lay a total of 25-27 tasty eggs a week, are low maintenance, and are truly delightful! Meet Dixie, a hybrid Buff Orpington, who joined my flock in 2017. Dixie enjoys walks in the tall grass, mealworms, hanging out with her sisters, and always being first in line for snacks. If you’re interested in starting your flock, consider picking up a copy of this book, full of clever and sensible advice, it tells you everything you need to know to get your flock going. If you’d rather just look at some cute chickens, follow my Chickens are People Too Pinterest board.
