Welcome to episode twelve of the Roots and Refuge Podcast. Today I’m going to be taking a deep dive into raising backyard egg-laying chickens. I know this is a pretty introductory topic, however, I have heard so many new people entering into this homesteading lifestyle lately, and backyard chickens are their entry point, so I want to be sure it's covered well.  As you know, my love of homesteading started at a very young age, and I did a lot of research before I even began my actual adventures. Egg-laying chickens were something I read up on a lot, and truth be told, the information I found made starting seem daunting.  It’s my desire to share my experiences and make this lifestyle very approachable to those just entering in. So sit back and enjoy this podcast as I chat all about raising egg-laying chickens. For more information and any links mentioned, visit the blog post here.
