Chicken Coops - Chickens As Pets

Keeping chickens as pets can be a fun and rewarding experience for children and adults alike. How many of your other pets can you really say give you a daily reward for taking good care of them?

We want to promote the idea of ordinary families keeping chicken coops in their garden or back yard wherever possible. So many people keep pet rabbits or guinea pigs for their kids, but not many people are aware of the fact that 3 or 4 chickens in a coop don't take much more looking after and will reward you with fresh eggs every day! Chickens are not generally seen as a cute or cuddly pet, but in reality they can be hugely entertaining and can love cuddles more than some pet rabbits do!

A few chickens in a coop can also teach kids the rewards of 'growing your own' food, as they help to feed their pets every day and collect the eggs every morning. The whole family will be amused by their hilarious chicken antics, their clucking and squarking at the excitement of one of them laying an egg, their cute way of putting themselves to bed at night and their funny way that they like to peck at everything and everyone! Kids just love chickens! Even one of the chicken coops which only houses 3 hens can be adequate.

So many chickens are kept in appauling conditions in battery cages all over the world, but they really don't deserve it. They make great pets and you could help to save some! Take a look at our page on rescuing ex battery hens for more information. Please 'like us' on facebook and let your friends know about this site, it all helps to spread the word and lets everyone know what great pets chickens can make!

Not many people consider keeping a chicken coops in their back yard with a few hens in, but it can be an extremely fun and rewarding experience for the whole family. We hope to educate people through this site about just what is involved in keeping pet chickens, so don't be put off by a lack of chicken keeping experience! We will guide you through the whole process, from which chicken coops are the best buy, to what to feed your chickens and even where to get your chickens from. We fully support several charities which rescue ex battery chickens and encourage our visitors to adopt a few for their coop if they can.
