Poultry Nerds Podcast: A conversation about chicken, quail and turkeys with a side of humor

 Jennifer Bryant of BryantsRoost.com and Carey Blackmon of ShowProFarmSupply.com  are here to discuss backyard chicken keeping.  This show dives deep into flock management, poultry health, hatching eggs, incubating, brooding chicks, predator-proofing, and biosecurity.

We cover everything from chicken coop tips to coturnix quail farming, heritage breeds, and even NPIP certification. Each episode is packed with real-world advice, expert interviews, and practical tips for egg production, chicken behavior, and integrating new birds into your flock.

With all your favorite breeders, our guests round out the nerd table with the most information.

If you're a beginner or a lifelong poultry nerd, this chicken keeping podcast will help you raise healthier birds, hatch with confidence, and grow your homestead. Tune in and nerd out with us!
