Question 1

How many chickens does the Coop accommodate?

Accepted Answer

The Coop comfortably accommodates 4 to 6 chickens by providing 28 square feet of total floor space, 2 nesting areas, and 60 inches of roosting space.

Question 2

What sort of yard does the Coop need?

Accepted Answer

We've designed the Coop for any and every yard it can fit in! Ideally, you are able to place your Coop under partial tree cover, orient the Automatic Door to the North, and keep the Coop within 100-150 feet of a 2.4GHz network. It is also helpful for your Coop to be reachable by hose for easy refilling of waterers and coop cleaning. Don't forget to double check your local and city ordinances for any special requirements you might need to follow!

Question 3

What sort of climate does the Coop need?

Accepted Answer

We've designed the Coop for nearly any and every climate! We've focused on the materials, manufacturing process, and physical design to account for everything like ventilation for hotter periods, insulation for colder periods, and how everything fits together for wetter periods.

Question 4

What is daily upkeep for backyard chickens like?

Accepted Answer

We like to say, “Backyard chickens aren't rocket science, they're just a labor of love!” On a daily basis, you’ll need to check and refresh feed and water, collect eggs, and observe your chickens' behavior and health. The Automatic Door takes care of letting your chickens out every morning and securing them every night. If you wish to range your flock outside of the Attached Run, you'll of course need to let them out and get them back into the run before dusk.

Question 5

What kind of food does a chicken eat?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is “everything”! Their dietary needs will change based on age, as well as type (layer vs. meat) though, and there are all sorts of feeds out there to answer for this variety. Don't forget that your chickens can also help you reduce your household’s organic waste by eating your scraps and leftovers!

Question 6

How many eggs can I expect from my flock?

Accepted Answer

It varies by breed, but actively laying hens, on average, produce about 1 egg per day. Hens begin to lay eggs around 18-22 weeks old. Peak egg production will last for 3 to 4 years, while the average life expectancy of a chicken is 8 to 10 years.

Question 7

What type and breed of chickens should I raise?

Accepted Answer

There are three types of chickens (laying birds, meat birds, and dual purpose birds) and the vast majority in backyards are layers or dual purpose birds. There are then countless breeds for each, all coming with varying features and traits, such the coloring of their plumage, how many eggs they lay, or the color and size of those eggs. No matter what you end up choosing, go with what gives you the most of what makes you happy or helps you accomplish the level of sustainability you’re trying to achieve.
