Welcome to The Chook Nook
This is where all my backyard chicken wisdom lives, gathered over years of running a feed store, raising thousands of chicks, and answering more panicked “what’s wrong with my chicken?!” messages than I can count.
Whether you’re brand new to chickens, knee-deep in feathers already, or just chicken-curious, you’ll find practical tips, honest advice, and a little humor to keep you cluckin’ along.
I used to co-own two feed stores in Washington and Idaho, and during chick season I was the chicken lady. Now I’m passing down what I’ve learned one brooder tip, poop chart, and breed breakdown at a time.
