Join me on a weekly journey into the heart of backyard chicken keeping, where each cluck and feather holds a story waiting to be shared. I'm Thomas Xenos, your passionate guide through the world of raising these feathered friends. In each episode, I draw from my own experiences as a dedicated backyard chicken keeper, offering a unique perspective that goes beyond the basics. This isn't just a podcast about chickens; it's a narrative woven with the moments that have touched my soul, challenges, and the profound connection we share with our feathered companions.
