35 | I Almost Threw in the Towel: Surviving Chickens, Predators and the Struggle to Keep Going

from Wellness Farm Chat · host Brooke Perwal

In this episode, I dive into the highs and lows of raising chickens on our new farm in the beautiful Kootenays. From the excitement of starting a new flock to the heartbreaking reality of losing chickens to predators and pests, it’s been an emotional rollercoaster. Join me as I share the struggles we faced—building a new coop, battling hawks and eagles, and dealing with mites—plus the emotional toll it took on us. I almost threw in the towel, but with some perseverance, support from my husband, and a few key changes, things are starting to turn around.
