So happy that Heidi over at Rain Country asked us to be in this Chicken Mania collab!! We are so passionate about chickens & seriously, without the chicken, there is a really good chance that Cog Hill farm never happens! No pigs, no goats, no eggs, no gardens, no youtube channel, nothing! That first batch of bantam chickens we got almost 8 years ago, gave us the confidence to grow & start our homestead! That is the thing about raising chickens, it build up your confidence level, & that allows you to take the next step in your homestead or farm.

Chickens 101-chicken information
The one thing about raising chickens, you can raise them just about anywhere. You do not need a huge green pasture to raise chickens, or you do not have to free range your chickens. You can raise chickens right in your own backyard. One thing I stress is to use what you have. So if you have a tiny backyard, do not be stressed about that you do not have enough room like a Joel Salatin, to raise chickens. You can raise your own chickens! I mean even if it is a chicken run in your backyard! Backyard chickens are LOTS of FUN!

Raising chickens is fun & so satisfying. You name me another animal or pet, that can make you breakfast everyday? Not only do chickens provide you with delicious eggs or meat. They also are excellent pest & bug control. Chickens will eat tons of bugs everyday. Ticks, worms, caterpillars, beetles. Chickens also love to eat weeds & weed seeds, plus they are like having tiny little living garbage disposals on your property. When you have kitchen scraps or you clean out that fridge or freezer, give all that stuff to your chickens instead of throwing it away in the garbage! & then not only you helping the environment by not dumping that stuff in the trash, the chickens will convert all that stuff into to fabulous compost for your garden! So raising backyard chickens is a must & doesn't like chicken eggs?

Chickens are such an amazing animal, & I sure hope you will give them a try, bc they truly are the gateway drug to homesteading!!
