Chickens and homebrewing…
Ten chickens enjoying a hot meal on a cold day, eating up the mashed grains I used to make a rye bock lager. Ah, the best way to transform the spent grain onto compost!

Hi, I just found your blog when my son googled ” raising chickens and bees together”. I think we might be kindred spirits. We live in Napa, Ca. We have 3 bee hives in our backyard, make wine in the basement, can homemade applesauce and tomato soup, sew, bake, and raise 2 curious kids. Now my hubby would like to raise chickens. I was worried about chickens and bees in the same back yard. Is it doable? Is it safe for the the chickens to be so close to that many bees? We have a regular size back yard and are allowed 6 chickens ( by city ordanaince). I’d love to hear of some of your thoughts. Thanks.

Hi Kristen,
We’ve had no problems at all with having the chickens and bees side by side. The chickens might get a snack every so often, but no other interactions!
Sounds like it’d be a great addition! Best of luck to you…
