One day, Luke decided he wanted to raise chickens. So, he built a coop, got some chickens, got some feed, and now he never has to buy eggs again! Could it be that easy?
Does Luke worry about his chickens while he's reclined in a chair with his feet warming by the fire and it's zero degrees outside? Sure, his chickens are inside a coop but isn't it stressful for them while foxes and racoons investigate the coop at 2AM, looking for a way in? What about really hot days? What could cause them to get sick or contract a disease?
Well, on a warm day in December, I finally satisfied all of my curiosities about raising chickens. I visited the self-proclaimed Chicken Daddy's house, located on a quiet hillside with THE MOST spectacular view of Colorado Springs I have ever seen while standing next to a chicken coop.
