Raising Chickens and Children: Building Bonds and Teaching Life Lessons Through Backyard Chores

What if your chicken coop could become a classroom—and your backyard chores, a doorway to lifelong lessons? In this heartwarming and faith-rooted episode, we dive into the beauty of raising children and chickens side by side. From collecting eggs in mismatched rain boots to wrangling toddlers while hauling feed, we’re exploring how backyard farm life is shaping the next generation—one chore at a time.

You'll hear how these everyday moments can teach responsibility, work ethic, and stewardship in a way screens never could. We'll also talk about how shared chores can be a sacred rhythm—where laughter, discipline, and even discipleship happen in the chicken run. As it says in Deuteronomy 6:6–7, “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” This episode is packed with real stories, practical tips, and a whole lot of grace for moms, dads, and caregivers doing their best to raise both flocks and families with love.
