Some years ago, Dalia decided to bring home ten little chicks and start a hobby. That hobby quickly grew into a full-feathered passion that she couldn\u2019t stop talking about. Before long, she was part-owner of a farm store, teaching beginner chicken-keeping classes, and delivering seminars across Northwest Washington. While the store has since closed, Dalia continues to help others start their chicken-keeping adventure while sharing peace, laughter, and inspiration.\n\nRESOURCES MENTIONED\n\nMy Pet Chicken\n\nMurray McMurray Hatchery\n\nFlockstar App\n\nLet\u2019s All Keep Chickens! by Dalia Monterroso\n\nChickenlandia\u2019s Backyard Chickens 101 Course\n\nCONNECT\n\nDalia Monterroso of Chickenlandia | Website | YouTube | Instagram | Facebook | Podcast\n\nLisa Bass of Farmhouse on Boone | Blog | YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | Facebook | Pinterest\n\nJoin us in the Simple Farmhouse Life Facebook community!
