Michael Muenks

 

MichaelMichael was born in Jefferson City, Missouri in 1970 in a rural area just west of the capital of Missouri. Michael’s first experience with poultry was at the age of five with a pair of Muscovy ducks his grandfather gave him and his sister. Chickens entered the picture in 1980 and Ameraucana chickens in 1983. At the time the black bantams were called Araucana, but they were definitely what today would be called Ameraucana.
 
After moving to California, Missouri and purchasing a small amount of land in 1998 Ameraucana bantams were on the short list of things to find and raise. The first true Ameraucana bantams in white and brown red were from Mike Gilbert. Large fowl Ameraucana where introduced at Bantam Hill in the fall of 2003 when Michael purchased a few birds from Paul Smith.
 
Michael and his wife Anastasia have two daughters, Eva and Lucy. Eva and Lucy love to travel to Ameraucana Nationals. 

In October of 2010 the Muenks family closed down Bantam Hill and moved to Elgin, IL.

 
Michael has been a mathematics teacher,middle school principal, a state department official, and currently works for a major publishing company.
