After welcoming my second son into the world, I made the exciting and terrifying decision to step away from my corporate career. While taking care of little ones is fulfilling, I needed my own cost effective passion project that focused on sustainability and self-sufficiency: backyard chickens!
My own flock-keeping adventure started in the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri. I quickly learned that while the joy of fresh eggs and watching contented chickens is priceless, the costs of gear, feed, and supplies can add up fast!
That’s where the “frugal” part comes in. My mission is to use my engineering and product management skills to optimize your chicken-keeping budget.
