From Chick to Fried Egg: The Journey Begins

You don’t need a big spread or a fancy setup to start producing real food. Just a few chicks, a little know-how, and a willingness to get your hands dirty.

Starting this next Tuesday at 10AM, you’re getting a 6-week, no-nonsense guide to raising egg layers—from chick to fried egg.

Each week, we’ll walk you through one step:
✅ Choosing the right chicks (not just what’s cute at the feed store)
✅ Setting up a brooder that keeps ‘em alive and growing
✅ Feeding for production, not just survival
✅ Coop tips that keep predators out and eggs coming in
✅ Getting your first egg—and what to do if it doesn’t show up
✅ Storing, cleaning, and maybe even selling your extras

This is built for new homesteaders—but it’ll sharpen up your game even if you’ve been at it a while.

PLUS: Once a month, we’re interviewing a local farmer with 10 straight-shooting questions about their farm life, what’s working, and what they’d do differently.

See you next Tuesday at 10AM.
Let’s get to it.
