Rob Ludlow:
Rob Ludlow, his wife Emily, and their two beautiful daughters,
Alana and April, are the perfect example of the suburban family with a small
flock of backyard chickens. Like countless others, what started out as a fun
hobby raising a few egg-laying hens has almost turned into an addiction.
Originally, Rob started posting his experiences with chickens on his hobby
Web site
www.Nifty-Stuff.com,
but after realizing how much his
obsession with chickens was growing, he decided to concentrate his efforts
on a site devoted completely to the subject. Now Rob owns and manages
www.backyardchickens.com
(BYC), the largest and fastest-growing
community of chicken enthusiasts in the world.
Rob hopes to work with BYC’s tens of thousands of members to promote
a change of the old concept, “a chicken in every pot,” to a new version, the
BYC vision: “A chicken in every yard!”
