Hi, I'm Taylor, the creator behind Those Cluckin' Nashes, where I share my life with my backyard chickens, create educational chicken-keeping content, and connect with an incredible community of fellow chicken lovers.

I never imagined that something that started right in my own backyard, surrounded by my chickens, would lead me to an opportunity like this.

My chicken-vision video caught the attention of a German children's television program, and I've been invited to visit ZDF studios in Munich for the recording of an episode that will feature MY video! To say this is a dream come true would be an understatement!

The craziest part? This all came together SO fast! In less than a month, what once felt like a far-fetched dream suddenly became a real opportunity, and I've been busting my tail ever since to make it happen. I need to be in Germany by November 14, 2026, for the episode recording at the studio - which is just about a month away! I've been working hard to pull everything together in a matter of weeks, and I'm doing everything I can to make this dream a reality.

Traveling to Germany has been a dream of mine for a long time. It's the country my ancestors came from, and the thought of finally experiencing it in person is already incredibly meaningful to me. But to have the opportunity to go because of something I've built from the ground up, doing something I genuinely love, makes this experience even more special.

I've worked extremely hard to make this trip possible. I've been working incredibly hard to cover my major travel expenses myself, all while keeping up with my responsibilities as a mom, a wife and a homeschool teacher. However, after accounting for the personal bills and financial responsibilities waiting for me back home, I'm finding myself cutting things a little closer than I'd hoped.

Asking for financial help isn't something I would normally do. I'm proud of how hard I've worked to build Those Cluckin' Nashes, and I never want to take the support of others for granted. But this opportunity means so much to me that I've decided to put my pride aside and share my situation honestly, in case anyone would like to help.

Any funds raised will help with the remaining costs of the trip, including meals, transportation while I'm there, and a little breathing room financially while I'm away. I've been working hard to cover the major travel expenses myself, and any additional support would help make this once-in-a-lifetime experience a little less stressful and a lot more enjoyable.

If you've ever supported my content, watched a video, learned something new about chickens, or simply enjoyed following along with our little backyard flock, please know how much that means to me. Your support has helped make opportunities like this possible in ways I never could have imagined when I first started.

And if you're unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser or continuing to support Those Cluckin' Nashes means just as much.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for being part of this journey. I never imagined my backyard chickens would open a door to a dream like this - one that connects my family's roots, my passion, and the little corner of the internet I've worked so hard to build.

I'm so grateful for the chance to see where this adventure leads. ❤️
