Chickens in Great Smoky Mountains National Park? This flock brings farm heritage to life!
For a flock of as many as 40 chickens, the Mountain Farm Museum in Great Smoky Mountains National Park is home sweet home. Interpretive Park Ranger Michael Smith considers caring for these birds—and helping visitors understand why they were so important to farm families in the Smokies—one of the best parts of his job. Follow Smith around the farm and meet some of the chickens that live there. Video by Robin Pyle, copyright 2026 Smokies Life.
