There’s no point in getting chickens if you’re not prepared…and preparation includes more than just buying a coop and some chicks.
Every year, I get messages from new chicken owners who got chicks at their local feed store….and they’re a bit over their heads.
There’s a consistent theme to their questions and concerns that could have easily been avoided if they asked themselves some simple questions.
In this episode, we explore 6 critical questions you need to ask yourself before heading to the feed store and bringing home some day old chicks.
You’ll learn:
- The #1 question you should ask before any others (or getting chicks)
- What your neighbors have to do with your decisions (and it’s not what you think)
- And more!
