Backyard Hens get Hentopia
Frank Hyman, author of Hentopia, talks about backyard hens.
In the second part of the show we talk about backyard hens with Frank Hyman, author of the book Hentopia.
Hyman’s approach to keeping chickens is that he aims to spend less time doing chicken-related chores than cooking eggs. And he sets up the coop so that he can go away for a couple of weeks at a time.
He tells us about:
Practical feed and feeder ideas
Creating practical water dispensers — even in cold climates
Making a pallet coop
(Spoiler alert: we hear about the cricket rodeo he gives his hens)
