From feed to the henhouse, through care and handy equipment, every section helps you succeed with your backyard flock, whether you are just starting out or expanding your birds.
Where do I start to raise my first hens?
Before welcoming your birds, provide a sheltered, secure henhouse, access to clean water and feed suited to their age. Two or three hens are enough to supply fresh eggs for a family. Look into hardy, easy-going breeds, and give your animals a run where they can scratch and forage freely.
How do I keep a backyard flock healthy all year round?
Regular henhouse hygiene, a balanced diet and parasite monitoring are the three pillars of a healthy flock. Clean the perches and nest boxes, refresh the bedding and watch your birds’ behaviour every day. A calcium supplement and always-fresh water round off this routine effectively.
The most common parasite in the hen house is the red mite. Our guide to spotting and treating it: Red mites in chickens: the guide →
