Years of hands-on experience raising chickens, meat birds, and building a homestead from scratch. Get personal guidance without the guesswork.
Master your brooder setup and raise healthy chicks with confidence. We cover everything from heat plates vs. lamps, proper sizing, feed, water, and supplements — to common early concerns like pasty butt, lethargy, and failure to thrive. You'll walk away knowing exactly what a healthy brooder looks and feels like, and what to do if something seems off. Perfect for first-time chick owners who want real guidance during the most critical stage of a chick's life.
Something's off with your flock and you're not sure where to start — this is for you. We'll work through your specific concerns together and come up with practical next steps rooted in real poultry experience. Common issues we tackle include respiratory illness, sudden drops in egg production, behavior changes, bullying, integration problems, and flock management challenges. Photos are welcome and encouraged.
Raising meat birds is one of the most rewarding things you can do on a homestead — but without the right plan, it can also be overwhelming. This session walks you through breed selection, brooder setup, feed programs and growth timelines, to exactly what to expect on processing day. Whether planning your first batch or improving on last year, you'll leave with a clear, confident roadmap from day-old chick to a well-stocked freezer.
