The chicks are growing fast, and it’s time for a big move! In this episode, I share how we transitioned our little fluffballs from their first brooder in the kitchen to a larger, warmer space in the garage. You’ll hear practical tips for managing the move, keeping chicks safe during Wyoming’s chilly spring, and what to expect as they enter their next growth phase. Plus, don’t miss this week’s Chicken Scratch Notes and Feather Forecast! 

 This week, I share the heartbreak of losing a few chicks, the lessons learned in the process, and the joy of welcoming new ones to the flock. From rebuilding the brooder to investing in grit, a playpen, and an owl decoy, it’s been a week of growth and gratitude. Tune in for real talk, helpful tips, and a fresh start on the homesteading journey. 

The chicks have arrived! In this episode, I take you along as I pick up my six new feathered friends and settle them into their new home. From the peeping box in the car to their first curious pecks in the brooder, I share the highs, the little hiccups, and the lessons learned in the first 24 hours of chick parenthood. Plus, you'll get a peek (and maybe a peep!) at how our four dogs are reacting to the tiny new additions. It’s fluffy, funny, and full of firsts! 

 In this very first episode, I’m sharing the “why” behind Wyoming Coop and Cluck—a podcast chronicling my journey as a first-time chicken owner in the wild beauty of Wyoming. From dreaming of backyard chickens to preparing for the arrival of six tiny chicks, this episode sets the stage for all the feathered fun, lessons, and chaos to come. Whether you're a chicken pro or just curious, come join me as I take the leap into coop life!
