Great content and easy to understand as a new chicken keeper

I’ve really enjoyed The Coop. I’ve been listening to it over the past few months as I get ready to receive my first ever chicks from Meyer later this month. The episodes are the perfect length and full of easy to understand information. Thanks Meyer for helping me feel better prepared to embark on my chicken keeping journey!
