The Backyard Flock: Six hens, fresh eggs, and the calmest chore of the day

Wade Hollis

You will learn how six hens can reshape your mornings into something steady and worth waking for. Wade Hollis walks you through building the coop they actually need, choosing birds that match your pace, and running a ten minute check that becomes the calmest part of your day. You will hear which scraps help and which ones harm, how to keep water fresh and bedding clean without turning chores into a burden, and why a small flock fits into ordinary life instead of taking it over. Silas Quince narrates with the unhurried warmth of someone who has spent real time around animals and early light. His voice carries the soft clatter of a coop door, the rustle of straw, the quiet satisfaction of gathering warm eggs before the rest of the house stirs. This is a guide for hands and mornings, not for farms you do not own. Step outside and listen.
