I’ve really enjoyed The Coop. I’ve been listening to it over the past few months as I get ready to receive my first ever chicks from Meyer later this month. The episodes are the perfect length and full of easy to understand information. Thanks Meyer for helping me feel better prepared to embark on my chicken keeping journey!

As a first time chicken owner, I can’t tell you how much this podcast has helped us in our journey. It is informative, enjoyable and funny, too!! I am so grateful - please don’t ever stop posting new episodes!

I found this podcast from my Chicken Magazine that I get bi-monthly. I checked it out about a month ago and I love the advice and guests that come on the show, and I listen to it while I’m working or crocheting. I’m currently working on binging previous episodes to learn as much as I can. I love this podcast!

I love this podcast!! I started my flock about a month ago with 6 chicks and stumbled upon this podcast that I went on a hardcore binge on. I’m happy to say that chicken math has already happened and I’m now at 16 chicks (I feel like Kendra would be so proud and Jeff is definitely laughing and judging😂.) I have learned/ applied so much information from this amazing podcast from what essentials I need for brooding to discovering First Saturday Lime and how to apply it! Thank you so much for all the great info for us new crazy chicken people!!

The conversation rambled & did not deliver what the description topic highlighted- they talked about their flocks, roosters, other animals and didn’t ever really focus on specific breeds , yes lots of feathers - best not good - kept coop cool or warm depending on weather- but not specific breeds - very annoying conversation because I tuned in to learn about different breeds personalities - this could be a good podcast if they had better focus or outline of topics they must cover as the personal stories are fine unless like today it became an unfocused conversation . Waiting to find a really good podcast about chicken keeping … this isn’t it .
