About Me



Hello folks! I'm Joe Simpson, your go-to guide in the world of chicken whispering. My life revolves around clucks, coops, and a whole lot of composting!


When I'm not tending to the flock, you'll find me enjoying an indie film, strumming a country tune, or cooking up a storm with farm-fresh produce.


I believe in sustainable, organic living and that every creature (chickens included!) deserves care and respect. Let's embark on this feathery journey together!


A Little About Me

I grew up in the countryside, where my family kept a small hobby farm with chickens, goats, and a vegetable garden.


From a young age, I developed a passion for caring for animals and living close to the land. After college, I worked in architecture for a few years but found myself longing for a lifestyle that was more aligned with my rural roots.


That's when I decided to leave the 9-5 grind behind and start my own organic homestead focused on raising happy, healthy chickens.


Now I spend my days building coops, tending to the flock, composting, and experimenting with new ways to live sustainably from the land. I also enjoy indulging my creative side through crafting, cooking farm-to-table meals, and playing music.


My goal with this site is to share my knowledge and experiences in hopes of helping others discover the joys and rewards of small-scale organic chicken keeping.


My Interests & Favorites


Chicken Care: I'm obsessed with finding new ways to keep chickens healthy, safe, and entertained. Nutrition, coop design, and preventative care are daily topics of interest.


Composting: Turning chicken manure and food scraps into black gold is incredibly rewarding (and eco-friendly!). I'm always tinkering with compost methods.


Organic Farming: I believe in working in harmony with nature through natural fertilizers, crop rotation, and avoidance of chemicals/GMOs. My garden keeps expanding as I experiment with new plants.


Bird Watching: In my free time, I enjoy watching and identifying wild birds that visit the homestead. Chickens will always be #1 in my heart though.


DIY Crafts: I have a passion for repurposing and upcycling items into coops, nesting boxes, feeders, and anything chickens need!


Cooking: My farm-fresh eggs and veggies find their way into all kinds of homemade dishes, from scrambles to lasagnas. I love cooking from scratch.


Country Music: Give me some Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash as I work in the coop and I'm a happy camper!


Indie Films: I unwind in the evenings by watching unique, creative films with depth and imagination. Favorites include The Grand Budapest Hotel, Inception, and Little Miss Sunshine.


Eco-Living: My goal is to leave as small a footprint as possible through renewable energy, zero waste, and sustainable practices. I believe we all have a duty to protect our planet.

The Importance And Implementation Of Chicken Coop Insulation

If you're a chicken coop owner, you know the importance of providing a comfortable and safe environment for your flock. One crucial aspect that should not be overlooked is insulation. Insulating your chicken coop offers numerous benefits that contribute to the well-being and productivity of your chickens.  Proper insulation helps regulate temperature inside the coop, keeping it warm during winter and cool in summer.  This stable climate reduces stress on your chickens, allowing them to lay more eggs consistently.  Additionally, insulation prevents drafts and moisture buildup, which can lead to respiratory issues and diseases among your flock. Choosing the right insulation materials is essential for maximum effectiveness. Factors such as durability, ease of installation, and fire resistance should be considered when making this decision. In this article, we will guide you through the process of implementing insulation in your chicken coop.  From selecting suitable m...

Everything You Need to Know About Concrete Chicken Coops

 Concrete chicken coops are a popular choice for chicken owners because they are durable, easy to clean, and low-maintenance.  Concrete is a strong material that can withstand the elements, making it a good choice for coops in areas with extreme weather conditions.  It is also non-porous, which makes it easy to clean and disinfect. Concrete coops are less likely to attract pests than wooden coops, making them a good option for keeping chickens healthy.  They can be built to any size or shape, providing versatility for chicken owners. However, concrete coops can be more expensive and more difficult to construct than other types.  They can also be cold in winter, so insulation is important in colder climates. Key Considerations for Concrete Chicken Coops If you're considering a concrete chicken coop, there are a few things to keep in mind: Choosing the Right Concrete Mix Use a mix designed for outdoor use that is durable and weather resistant.

Should I Use Metal Or Wood For My Chicken Run Roof?

Deciding on the right material for your chicken run roof is an important decision that can impact the safety, comfort, and longevity of your coop.  The two most popular options are metal and wood, each with their own sets of pros and cons.  Here is a detailed comparison of metal vs wood chicken run roofs to help you make the best choice. Key Factors to Consider When choosing between metal or wood, there are a few key factors to take into account: Weather Resistance - The roof needs to stand up to rain, wind, snow, and sun exposure without rotting, warping, or becoming damaged. Insulation - The roofing material impacts how well your coop holds in heat in winter and stays cool in summer. Weight - A heavier roof can make the framing and supports more complex and costly. Fire Safety - Some materials are naturally more fire-resistant. Noise - Rain, hail, and other weather can make some materials noisier. Cost - Prices vary quite a bit between metal and wood op...

How to Make Your Chicken Coop Roof Open for Easy Cleaning Access

Keeping your chicken coop clean is essential for the health and wellbeing of your flock.  An accessible roof that opens easily makes cleaning the coop much simpler.  Here are some effective strategies to create an openable roof on your chicken run: Install Hinged Roof Panels Attaching hinges to the roof panels allows them to lift up for full access to the coop's interior. Choose sturdy, rust-resistant hinges that can withstand weather and frequent use.  Make sure the hinged panels are light enough to lift with ease. Add Sliding Roof Panels For added security against predators, opt for roof panels that slide open on tracks or slots. High-quality sliding hardware ensures smooth operation.  Be sure the panels slide flush for complete roof coverage when closed. Cut a Roof Hatch Cutting a hatch into the roof over nesting boxes or high traffic areas provides access to targeted spots.  Install a hatch door with a locking mechanism to keep it securely closed.

How to strengthen chicken coop concrete?

 Concrete is a common material used for building a sturdy foundation for a chicken coop. However, over time concrete can become weak and crack due to pressure from the weight of the coop, exposure to weather elements, and other environmental factors.  Strengthening the concrete used for your chicken coop is important to maintain structural integrity and prevent future damage.  Here are some of the best tips and methods for strengthening chicken coop concrete: Use Good Quality Concrete Choose a concrete mix designed specifically for outdoor use. This type of concrete will have properties to withstand freezing, thawing, and exposure to the elements. Aim for a concrete strength rating of at least 3000 PSI. The higher the PSI rating, the stronger the concrete. Use a mix with both coarse and fine aggregates. The combination improves overall strength. Consider additives like synthetic fibers which can increase tensile strength to prevent cracking. Avoid cheap bagged concrete w...
