You’ve grown your garden, harvested your meals, and now you’re ready for the next chapter—chickens. This final episode of Season 1 is your complete beginner’s guide to raising chickens in a Caribbean setting. Learn how to choose the right breeds, build a predator-proof coop, feed your flock on a budget, and keep them healthy using traditional bush remedies and modern care. We also explore the ethics of raising birds for eggs and meat, share insights into Caribbean practices, and offer a path to expanding your backyard ecosystem with ducks, quail, or goats. Whether you're on a balcony in Kingston or a hillside in St. Lucia, this is how self-sufficiency begins—one feather at a time.
