TIPS, TRICKS, TECHNIQUES & HELPFUL INFORMATION

Here are the top 10 breeds of chickens we recommend for your backyard based on the following criteria: Temperament, Egg Production, Heat/Cold Tolerance, & Availability

Looking for a "fun-size" flock? The small size of Bantams means these little chickens take up much less room than that of standard breeds, so you could fit a few more chickens in your flock! 

If bringing newly hatched chicks home, be sure to have your chick brooder setup and tested well in advance to ensure you're ready to provide proper care so you can get your new flock off to a great start. 

When your chicks have outgrown the brooder and are ready to move into the backyard, use our checklist to make sure you have the basics for proper flock care.
