You don't need to know everything about chickens.

You Just Need to Know
What Matters.

You didn't get chickens because you wanted another complicated hobby.

You wanted fresh eggs. A little more self-sufficiency. Maybe a simpler way of life.

And somewhere along the way… you probably fell in love with the chickens themselves.

Donna & Mark

We've Made the Mistakes So You Don't Have to Make All of Them.

We started with six Rhode Island Reds and the wonderfully naïve idea that chickens meant free eggs.

Chicken keeping isn't difficult when you know what to expect.

What followed was a lot of learning — coops rebuilt more than once, feed we bought twice, a predator lesson we only needed to learn one time, and plenty of late nights wondering whether something we were seeing was normal.

We figured it out slowly, the hard way. This guide is everything we'd hand a friend on day one, so the learning curve feels a lot less lonely.

From Our Coop to Yours

When you purchase Backyard Chickens Made Simple, you're doing more than buying an ebook.

They have personalities.

They make us laugh.

They frustrate us.

They destroy things we just planted.

And somehow, we wouldn't have it any other way.
