Meet Gail Damerow

Tractor Supply's Life Out Here is proud to have Gail Damerow as a guest author. Her love of chickens began with her grandmother's flock of Rhode Island Reds and solidified when her first house came with chickens and ducks (as well as garden and orchard). With nearly five decades of raising chickens under her belt, she is an expert in flock care. 

Gail Damerow is the author of several poultry care books, including the popular Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens and The Chicken Health Handbook. She's a regular contributor to poultry and homesteading magazines and chicken-raising blogs.
