Here's the thing: a lot of backyard chicken advice out there is just … wrong. Or scary. Or both. Avian flu is real. Salmonella is real. Your flock deserves better than internet myths. So do you.

Carbon programs in the U.S.: Farmers or ranchers must have a field that isn’t enrolled in another carbon program; must be suitable for adopting conservation practices; needs to have been used for agricultural production for at least 5 years.

Graphic that reads "Carbon Market Requirements with illustrations of three green crop fields. The top left field has the words, "Not enrolled in another carbon program". The center right field has an arrow pointing at the crops with an image of a plant above the red arrow, with the words to the left reading, "Suitable for conservation practices". At the bottom left is another field with an illustration of a tractor and two cows with the words to the right reading, "Used for agricultural production for at least 5 years".
