COEUR D’ALENE, ID
We woke up early in Coeur d’Alene to meet with
Jodi in CDA, ID, and we were actually a little nervous
because we showed up about a half an hour early.
I know it sounds silly to be nervous, but you most
likely have never shown up at a farmer or ranchers
door step, in a Subaru, with loads of camera equipment, to ask if you could film the MTV cribs version
of their chicken coop.
Lucky for Jerrin and I, Jodi came around the corner
as we pulled up to welcome us to her 15 acres on a
hillside full of trees, hiking trails, her 2 Finn sheep, 2
miniature goats and one of the most creative chicken coops I’d ever seen.
Jodi and her husband raise chickens as well as a few guinea in their coop, and they all have names…
and name bands, and she was able to tell them apart. Her passion and creativity was
immediately visible.
While we checked out the place, her lead rooster got his Tuxedo on for the camera, and I’m not at all
kidding. You could tell these chickens are loved—they were some of the friendliest we’d filmed, and
they posed like runway models for Jerrin’s camera.
