Episode 121 - Every Backyard Should Have Chickens

Ditch The Store

About this episode

This week’s a special one — we’re jumping off the sourdough and diving into something a little feathery and a whole lot of fun 🐔

In this one-off episode, I sit down with my partner to chat about why I genuinely believe every suburban backyard should have chickens. We’re unpacking the benefits (eggs, compost, pest control, and kids learning responsibility), busting a few chicken-keeping myths, and tackling the common pushbacks around noise, smell and council drama.

We’re also celebrating the launch of my brand new program — Confident Chicken Keeper — which is open for registration now!

Whether you're curious, cautious, or already clucking, this is a fun, real-talk chat about how backyard chickens could be the start of something much bigger.

🎙️ Episode Highlights:

  • The cheeky truth about suburban chicken keeping

  • Our funniest (and messiest) chicken moments

  • How chickens kickstart a homesteading lifestyle

  • Tips for being a “good chicken neighbour”

  • What makes someone chicken-ready

🧡 Life’s too short to eat supermarket eggs.
