What you will learn
I started this course with the knowledge that as a beginner, stepping into the world of poultry can be as daunting as it is exciting; that's why every piece of content is meticulously designed to ensure you're getting the most practical guidance from day one. Picture this: hands-on lessons that lead you through the ins and out of coop building, breed selection, and health management - everything structured so that you can easily follow along, even if today's your first day ever thinking about getting your own flock. And I've got to tell you, the feedback's been amazing! It’s like our community of first-time chicken keepers is growing right alongside their birds, and watching that happen – knowing the course has given them the confidence and skills they need – that's beyond rewarding.

Your instructor
As an avid poultry enthusiast and seasoned backyard chicken keeper, I, Angela Grandy, bring over a decade of hands-on experience to my course, "How To Raise Back Yard Chickens." My journey began with a small flock in my own green space, which quickly blossomed into a fulfilling endeavor of nurturing, learning, and teaching. Throughout years of trial, success, and the occasional humorous mishap, I've fine-tuned the art of chicken rearing, from understanding their unique behaviors to implementing sustainable and ethical care practices.
My connection with these feathered companions runs deeper than just care and management; it’s about fostering a community that values self-sufficiency, environmental responsibility, and the joys of raising chickens. I have not only witnessed the tangible benefits of fresh eggs and natural pest control but also the intangible rewards, like the calming presence chickens bring to my life. Through the "How To Raise Back Yard Chickens" course, I am eager to share my knowledge, passion, and the sense of community that comes with being part of the backyard chicken movement.
