The Joys of Chicken Keeping for Homestead Sunday.

Welcome to Homestead Sunday, where we will share what we have learned, what we do on a regular basis, and what we are working on. Who are we? We are a three generation family living on six acres in South Eastern Texas. 

And while we have only been in Texas a short time, we have had the homestead mentality and lifestyle for quite a few years, starting out with our time in Montana.
