From the excitement of starting a new flock to the heartbreaking reality of losing chickens to predators and pests, it’s been an emotional rollercoaster. Join me as I share the struggles we faced—building a new coop, battling hawks and eagles, and dealing with mites—plus the emotional toll it took on us. I almost threw in the towel, but with some perseverance, support from my husband, and a few key changes, things are starting to turn around. Tune in for an honest look at farm life and the lessons learned along the way!
