Hi, I’m Sophie, a backyard chicken enthusiast with a passion for simple, sustainable living. What started as a hobby turned into a way of life — and now, a blog to share it all with fellow poultry keepers.

Through this space, I share what I’ve learned (and keep learning) about raising happy, healthy chickens. 

From understanding flock dynamics and natural behaviors to choosing the right breeds for your homestead, I’m here to help you create a thriving backyard coop.

My journey began with just three hens in a small urban setting. 

I quickly became fascinated by their unique personalities, egg-laying patterns, and how they transformed kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich compost. 

As my flock grew, so did my knowledge about chicken husbandry, biosecurity practices, and creating predator-proof runs that keep my feathered friends safe year-round.

Whether you’re interested in heritage breeds like Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks, or curious about the best nesting boxes and roosting bars for your setup, I’ve got you covered. 

I believe in ethical animal care, proper nutrition, and understanding the complete chicken lifecycle — from day-old chicks to mature laying hens.

This blog covers everything from molting seasons and broodiness to winter care and natural remedies for common ailments. 

I explore topics like optimal feed ratios, coop ventilation, dust bathing areas, and managing pecking order disputes within your flock. 

You’ll also find detailed breed profiles, seasonal care guides, and troubleshooting tips for challenges every chicken keeper faces.

Check out our blog for in-depth articles on bantam varieties, free-range management, egg production optimization, and creating enrichment activities for your flock. 

Whether you’re dealing with broody hens, planning your first incubation, or simply want to improve your birds’ health and happiness, you’ll find practical, experience-based advice here.

I’m passionate about helping beginners start their poultry-keeping journey with confidence while offering experienced chicken farmers fresh insights and proven techniques. 

This isn’t just about eggs — it’s about building a connection with these remarkable birds and embracing sustainable backyard farming.
