ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi, I’m Tammi! I live in Massachusetts with my husband, our dogs, cat, and a flock of beloved chickens, including some rare and uncommon breeds. I’m the author of The Biosecure Backyard and Treats For Little Beaks—books dedicated to helping backyard flock owners keep their birds healthy and happy. I’m also an avid homesteader, beekeeper, and passionate about all things poultry. When I’m not with the chickens, you can find me helping others on their own homesteading journeys, or spending time with my husband, who has a unique hobby of collecting and repairing old chainsaws!
