It started with two Rhode Island Reds and two Pekin Ducks that our son brought home after work one night in March of 2020. He was working at a local farm-supply store and had purchased these chickens and ducks on a whim. When he arrived home, he grabbed some wood from the garage and fashioned a tiny makeshift chicken coop and run for them. They lived in that modest abode in our garage for a few weeks and, well, of course we fell in love!

We discussed how and exactly where we would house and care for them, did some research, asked questions and began our adventure. We converted our sons’ old playhouse into a chicken coop and added a run.
