You will learn how six hens can fit into an ordinary backyard without turning your life upside down. Wade Hollis walks you through choosing birds that match your schedule, building a coop with real tools and real lumber, and feeding your flock without emptying your wallet on boutique bags. Silas Quince narrates in a calm, steady voice that sounds like advice from a neighbor who has already made the mistakes so you do not have to. You will hear practical steps for handling predators, weather, and the small dramas of pecking order. Whether you are curious or already sketching coop plans, this guide meets you where you are. Start listening, and picture your first fresh eggs in the morning.
