Feeding backyard chickens should hypothetically be a simple thing to do. You know what chickens can eat, but when the chicken feeders and waterers we buy fail to live up to expectations, it complicates things.
It’s getting easier for people outside the backyard poultry community to understand why so many of us choose to dedicate a portion of our lives to raising and caring for backyard chickens. I don’t get the same reaction I used to from suburbanites when they find out I raise backyard chickens through casual conversation.
