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

Ever feel like you’re juggling farm chores and motherhood with one arm and a coffee cup? Wondering how to teach responsibility to your kids without it turning into a meltdown (yours or theirs)? In this episode, I’m sharing how those simple backyard chicken chores can become some of the most powerful teaching tools for your family. Around here at Lost Sheep Farm, we’re learning every day that the real lessons aren’t always found in books—they’re found in the messes, the teamwork, and the early mornings when everybody’s still half-asleep.

Whether you’ve got little ones, big kids, or a mix like me, this episode is filled with stories, encouragement, and a reminder that the holy stuff is often hidden in the daily tasks… even the ones that involve chicken poop. You’ll laugh, maybe relate a little too much, and hopefully walk away with a fresh perspective on faith, family, and flock life.

Thanks for being here with me—see y’all next time.
