Here’s a Portland blogger who has begun keeping bees. He built his own hives and everything! I am suitably impressed and looking forward to reading about his journey with his bees. And… hey… he has backyard chickens too. The backyard chicken post has been one of the most popular posts here so far, so I think we have some definite interest on that topic. Check it out!
Someday, I really want to keep some backyard chickens. But it’s a big commitment and I’m not ready for that yet, so it will have to wait. But for people who are more prepared for it than me, and want to get started? Check out Backyard Chickens, a fun website dedicated raising chickens, building chicken coops, and hatching eggs! Some of the coop designs are just too… too… well, I don’t have the words. Think of “chalets” for chickens and there you have it. The site also features a great learning center, information about breeds, an image gallery, and a message board. Cluck, cluck.
