Laura Spencer

Laura Spencer, chicken breeder in Birmingham, Alabama, nurtures flocks in central Alabama near Montgomery. She has been breeding for more than ten years and participates in American Poultry Association events while keeping detailed health records for each bird. Her birds are raised in spacious outdoor shelters with regular pasture access, socialized daily from the chick stage, and fed a balanced, non-GMO diet.

Spencer’s focus on sustainable husbandry includes rotating heirloom grains, composting bedding, and inviting local schools for educational visits. Each flock undergoes routine wellness checks, vitamin supplementation, and vaccinations according to veterinarian guidelines to ensure robust health and productivity. Chicks hatch on-site in temperature-controlled brooders, and mature hens lay comfortably in well-maintained nesting boxes designed with farmer feedback. Pasture rotations are timed to enhance soil fertility, improve forage diversity, and reduce parasite risks naturally. Eggs are collected twice daily to maintain freshness and stored carefully to preserve quality.
