I think out of everything homesteading related, chickens are probably my family’s favorite project. I know this sounds kind of funny, but chickens have great personalities and are very smart. Before we had chickens, I would have never thought of a chicken having a personality or being smart, but they are, plus they make good pets and can be very entertaining. I’ve had some interest shown and a quite a few questions asked about our chickens so I’ve decided to do a little series that covers everything about them. Some of the topics I’ve thought about covering are:

• Starting out with Chickens
  
• What breeds we have and how many
  
• Where they live and how they all get along
  
• Feeders and waterers we use
  
• What we feed them
  
• The roosters
  
• Raising chickens for meat
  
• Our broody hen
  
• Our breeding project
  
• Hatching chicks
  

My plan is to post a new All Things Chicken article each Thursday. If you have any other questions or topics you would like me to cover, let me know and I will include them on the list.
