Chicken Newsletter Archives

My newsletter is on hiatus (again), but the back issues below likely contain the answers you’re looking for!

I’ve beth_feeding_small_barred_rock_pulletsbeen maintaining my chicken and poultry newsletter since 2003, off and on, and at its peak had over 9,000 subscribers.

The fundamentals are the same. In particular, my goal is always to help you enjoy raising happy chickens, using whatever methods and resources work best for you.

A lot of the best practices have fallen by the wayside in recent decades, and had to be rediscovered and modernized. Among the things my wife Karen and I have reintroduced or invented ourselves are the insulated heat-lamp brooder and the portable hoophouse coop made from lightweight cattle panels. Thousands of people are using these today ideas (and many more) who wouldn’t otherwise have heard of them!
