Today's episode we discuss the challenges we face as chicken keepers. Have you ever been told chicken keeping really isn't that hard? Telling someone new that chicken keeping is a breeze is not helping their current struggles. Be careful with your words. Listen in as I struggle through my seasonal allergies! Ha!
1. What is a molt and how you can help you flock through it.
2. The debate of adding artificial lighting to your coops to prolong egg laying during a molt.
3. Chicken mishaps and common things that do happen to the best of us.
4. Omlet auto door and our real review.
5. Upcoming Wilma's Holler Gang Community.
