Thinking about getting chickens but not sure where to start? In this video I walk you through why I highly recommend having backyard chickens (or quail) as a simple, powerful step toward real food security and self-reliance.

We'll talk about when chickens make sense – and when they don't. If you're in a high-rise apartment or tightly controlled HOA, chickens probably aren't an option, and I explain why they're terrible indoor animals and what to consider with local zoning and restrictions. If you can't legally keep chickens, I share how quail in a garage can give you many of the same benefits in a much smaller footprint.
