Backyard Hens: The Joys and Realities of Keeping Chickens

Welcome to Paws Between Us with Natalie and Sacha.

In this episode they share pet updates (Murray's limp, Betty's physio), discuss pet poisoning warnings and safety tips from Animal Poison Line and explain the One Medicine approach to animal and human health.

The main conversation is with our friend Liz who talks about life with her four unique chickens, their breeds, personalities, egg-laying habits, and how she cares for them. She explains housing, feeding, common health issues, and tips for choosing a reputable breeder or rescuing ex-battery hens.

The episode also covers keeping quail, free-ranging vs. runs, predator risks, how chickens interact with gardens and other pets, and the joy and companionship backyard birds can bring.
