Caution! Poultry parenthood is not all it’s cracked up to be. Are you considering becoming a backyard egg farmer? Chicken Rearing 101 examines the humorous, yet, brutally harsh realities of life as a small time chick wrangler.

When I first called the Feed Shop, I was trying to sound like a pro. I asked, "Do you sell pullets?" "Yes", the man replied. "Are they all females?" It’s been an uphill battle ever since.

The nesting boxes are an eclectic mix of stolen milk crates affixed to the wall by anything in arms reach. As for the coop itself, there is a gift for tight chicken wire, which eludes me. Quite frankly, my first attempt at a coop looks like Dr. Seuss dropped a hit of acid, blasted some Jefferson Starship and rolled around on the wire with every Who in Whoville. I think I’ll keep it.
