    The HCN Podcast - Episode 3: Lessons From Chickenlandia

    In episode 3, we chat with Dalia Monterroso. You know her as The President of Chickenlandia, but her non-feathered friends call her Dalia. 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’t 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. Popular YouTuber, author, educator, and podcaster Dalia has been teaching others how to care for chickens for over a decade. Now homeschooling families can benefit from her knowledge in her one-of-a-kind, self-paced online course: Chickenlandia's Backyard Chickens 101: A Chicken Course for Everyone! Join HCN Founder Kimberly Bennett as she chats with Dalia about how her affordable, self-paced course can support your family's homeschooling journey.
