Raising chickens is about more than just eggs—it's about joy, control over our food, and serving our community in a small, personal way. Through a “pay what you wish” approach, we make fresh eggs accessible to all, including giving to those in need. Half of what customers donate goes towards monthly chicken care, and the other half rewards Millie for her hard work. She divides her portion into thirds: give (Woodford Co Humane Society), save, and spend.
If you're chicken curious and thinking about starting your own backyard flock, know it’s a labor of love (and a total privilege). It’s daily feeding and watering, cleaning up chicken p**p, gathering eggs, corralling your feathery friends, keeping an eye out for predators, tending to injuries, and breaking the ice in winter (or getting creative to keep their water from freezing). Plus, you’ll be checking for frostbite on their waddles and combs, serving up cool treats on hot days, and, best of all, cuddling your chickens and laughing at their quirky antics.
If you’re curious about the financial investment, see the post in the comments for a breakdown of initial and monthly costs.
