Growing up, we spent our lives in concrete jungles. Then our travel took us to the country side and we enjoyed the freshness of air and relaxing lifestyle. This experience was temporary and we want to make it permanent. So we decided to raise 16 baby chicks into full grown chickens. Chickens are one of the most adorable, easy-to-raise, useful pets you can have. It's been a wonderful experience for us and we want to share it with you. As a couple, we enjoy sustainable lifestyle, minimalism and simplicity in life.
