Show Notes

Think raising chickens is as easy as tossing out some corn and waiting for eggs? Think again. In this hands-on Caribbean homesteading guide, we break down everything from coop construction and predator-proofing to brooding chicks, egg-laying cycles, and ethical meat harvesting. Learn the hard truths about broilers, the hidden wisdom of yard fowl, and the age-old traditions that still shape island life today.
Whether you're starting with six hens or planning a full backyard operation, this episode teaches you how to do it right—from your first feather to your final pot of chicken foot soup.
What breed would you raise first—layers, broilers, or yard fowl?
And how would you balance sustainability with the emotions of harvesting your own meat?
Drop your thoughts and tag a friend who's thinking about starting a flock.
