I subscribe to a magazine called Backyard Poultry . It's by the same publishers as Countryside and Small Stock Journal Magazine (which I have gotten for many, many years). This one focuses on poultry of all kinds. It's a very down-home publication - great chicken photos on every cover.

The February/March issue has a lot of information/instructions on movable chicken coops and pastured poultry. We don't have the same kind of acreage that we used to, so I don't know if that's the way to go for us or not. And I don't have a handyman husband, so it wouldn't get built anytime soon. The stay-in-place coop from the old farm will have to do. Apparently it's a doable thing to put it on a truck and cart it the 30 miles to our new yard. We'll tuck it under the willow tree, put a fence around for a run and move the chickens over. All this will have to take place in the spring, of course.

So, anyways, if you have chickens (or poultry of any kind) and want to learn more, or are just an armchair chicken lover - Backyard Poultry is the magazine for you.

You are just itching to get those chickens over, aren't you? They are fun to have, I agree. Roosters, NO, chickens, YES!
And may I be your faithful customer, if you have extras? I LOVE fresh eggs!
