To make life easy -- and fun! -- for prospective chicken owners through our products, information, tools and resources.
I fell in love with chickens in the third grade
when my classroom incubated and hatched baby chicks. It had been a dream of mine to own chickens ever since,
which was realized once my husband and I bought our own home. In the time leading up to getting chickens,
we learned as much as we could as fast as we could, but it took months, several books, talking to people and
even a few "how to" videos to find all the information we needed. While we loved the learning process,
we felt it shouldn't be so hard for everyone else. My Pet Chicken was born.
After having chickens of our own for a couple years, we wrote a basic
chicken care guide, available
for free for anyone who wants to read it. We then invented our totally unique breed selector tool,
Which Chicken?, to help newcomers to the chicken world determine
which breeds are best suited to them.
Other helpful resources for people who are considering chickens include our
Why Chickens? list of 10 benefits of keeping chickens,
our FAQs about chickens, our list
of Farms and Hatcheries where you can purchase chickens, our
list of over 60 Chicken Breeds including photos, history
and breed information, our Chicken Pics gallery showing
the beauty and variety of various breeds, and our
Glossary
of chicken terms.
Our core product is the
Eglu, a starter kit that comes in several colors and includes everything a novice needs
to get started with a small backyard flock: a coop with an attached run, feed and water containers, starter feed,
egg cartons, a how-to chicken care guide, and even chickens if you so desire!
We also sell
supplies for DIY-ers who want to build their own coop but need all the "extras".
Finally, we sell a tremendous variety of
classy gifts, books
and stationary for chicken fanciers!
We've gone to great lengths to make available hard-to-find, unique and cool chicken and rooster gifts, and to offer them
at great prices. We like to say we're putting the "chic" in chicken.
