How Cluckopedia Hatched
It started with “just a few chickens.” Famous last words, right?
Picture this: It’s 2019, and I’m standing in my suburban backyard, convinced that three hens would be the perfect addition to our family. Fast forward to today, and let’s just say our flock has… expanded. (My husband stopped counting after 20, bless his patient heart.)
But here’s the thing – when I first started, finding reliable chicken information online was like searching for eggs in a haystack. One website said chickens need classical music to lay better. Another insisted on daily chicken yoga. A forum told me my Rhode Island Red’s sneeze meant she was plotting world domination.
After my third midnight panic-Google session (“Is my chicken’s waddle supposed to wiggle like that?!”), I realized something had to change. The chicken-keeping community needed a resource that was actually helpful, not just hilarious.
Why We Built This Coop… Er, Website
Cluckopedia was born from countless hours of real-world chicken wrangling, problem-solving, and yes, occasional chicken-chasing-in-pajamas incidents. We’ve been pecked, pooped on, and somehow still wake up excited to collect eggs every morning.
Our mission is simple: Help fellow chicken enthusiasts skip the confusion and get straight to the good stuff. Whether you’re troubleshooting why Henrietta stopped laying, comparing automatic coop doors (game-changer!), or trying to figure out if that fluffy chick will grow up to be a gentle giant or a feathered dinosaur, we’ve got you covered.
What Makes Us Different
We believe in:
- Real advice that actually works (tested on our own flock of feathered comedians)
- No judgment (we’ve all googled “can chickens eat pizza” at some point)
- Practical solutions (because not everyone has time for chicken aromatherapy)
