# About Us

Jim and Cindy Miller have been residents of Springdale for over 20 years. We love the people of this city, and are blessed that all our adult kids, and seven grandchildren live within an easy 20-minute drive.

We are now almost retired and are looking forward to spending more time in our yard, garden beds, and yes, even tending to our 6 chickens. Cindy and I have considered buying a small farm, but the prospect of relocating, and essentially starting over at this point, is problematic as well.

We did talk with our neighbors about having hens to be sure they had no objections. Knowing that we could always transfer the hens to another location if necessary, we decided to move forward, and place an order with a local hatchery in Mt Healthy. That was about 18 weeks ago, and earlier this week, we were excited to find 2 eggs in the coop!

But the real surprise that we found is the joy we have had in raising these 6 chickens. They each have names, interesting personalities, and they are just fun to watch.

Another surprise has been that our chickens have opened the door for us to get to know our neighbors better. Turns out they are also animal lovers, and know how pets can truly enrich our lives, and maybe even teach us a thing or two.
