Yolk & Root

Backyard chickens & gardens

Yolk &
Root

We raise chickens, grow food, and document the whole imperfect process — the good harvests, the failed ones, and everything the hens destroyed in between.

From coop to garden bed.

Guides & downloads

Printable, practical, no fluff.

PDFs we made because we needed them ourselves. Written for a real backyard — small, imperfect, and occasionally governed by chickens.
