As I’m writing this, we are coming toward the end of the strangest baby chick season I’ve ever experienced as a Backyard Chicken Educator. If you’re reading this from the future, it’s May 30th, 2020. This is the year the pandemic hit. And though I was unable to teach any classes or do any seminars in person, it’s been my busiest time ever.
I’ve seen a lot of criticism regarding the people who “panic bought” baby chicks recently. But in a time when it’s really hard to see a silver lining, I’m seeing one in the surge of new chicken keepers. If you’re someone who is just starting out, congratulations! I welcome you to Chickenlandia, and I hope I can help you have the best backyard chicken experience ever. <3
Is it Now or Never?
Since I haven’t been able to teach classes in person for quite some time, I’m pretty grateful for the opportunity to create content on my YouTube Channel, as well as my new online course: Chickenlandia’s Backyard Chickens 101 – a Chicken Course for Everyone.
