    Here’s a tip don’t get chickens in a urban area

    I grew up with chickens in upstate New York, living in a outter borough of the city now, what a terrible idea. I’m a corner house it’s been about 2 years now with 5 bantams. They are EXTREMELY loud, have plenty of space, just relentlessly loud (not the egg song) just making a “CAW CAW CAW CAW”...

    Hello, I'm currently writing an article for Chickens magazine and I'm looking for some backyard chicken farmers who live in urban areas.

    Three French Hens Coop

    When I was a kid, my grandfather had about 30 hens in an enclosed coop (1970's) and supplied the neighbourhood with fresh eggs (for a modest price). When I had kids of my own, was living "in town" and heard them refer to a squirrel as a "wild animal", I thought "Hmmm... these kids need more...

    Howdy from Portland, Oregon

    Hi there! I am a mom/preschool teacher/doctoral student who has been keeping backyard chickens for about 11 years. I have referred to the forum discussions many times over the years but never started a profile or chimed in. I currently have 2 bantams and am looking to grow to 3-4, which seems to...

    I have had chickens for five years and currently happily have six chickens in my backyard in San Francisco. I'm coming out with a children's book in the fall, "Gwen the Rescue Hen," about a chicken that miraculously escapes an industrial factory farm. This is the second in a series of children's...

    Awesome Coop!

    I am in LOVE with my new coop from SanTan Valley Coops! Marco built it in Arizona, and delivered it to LA, assembling it on my property. I opted to paint it and embellish. Am obsessed. Just wanted you all to see.

    My Positive Local Action Coop

    While I had admired my sister's chickens and considered having backyard chickens of my own for years, I never had a good idea as to where in our yard might work for a coop. Then last November, as my husband and I were covering our fenced garden area with black plastic for the winter, I suddenly...
