Featured Guest: Gary Vallery
Gary Vallery is a backyard chicken expert, podcaster, YouTuber, and passionate advocate for simple living close to the land. Raised in rural Louisiana, Gary was reintroduced to chickens in his 50s and has since built a thriving community dedicated to the joy, healing, and wisdom that chickens bring to everyday life. A licensed scuba diver, black belt in Taekwondo, certified flight instructor, Red Cross instructor, and woodworking enthusiast, Gary brings the same curiosity and devotion to everything he does, including his beloved flock.
In this episode, Amy and Gary explore the magical world of backyard chickens. They cover how "chicken therapy" is legit and the surprising emotional healing these animals offer. They also discuss the truth behind store bought eggs, what to look for on the label and a little Chicken 101 for any backyard keepers, like the friendliest breeds for beginners, raising baby chicks, rooster and flock dynamics, and the profound life lessons these hilarious, fascinating creatures have to teach us about presence, care, and living close to the land.
