You hear them before you see them. A soft cluck from the yard. You walk out with your coffee, lift the lid, and there it is. A warm brown egg with your name on it.
That's the feeling. Not a big farm. Just a few hens, a small coop, and a morning walk you look forward to.
Hens need a yard and a coop. Check your city rules first.
Start Here
Your first three steps.
Do them in order. Each one takes less than an afternoon.
Check your city rules
Look on your city or county website, or call. Ask if hens are allowed and how many you can keep. It takes ten minutes and saves a lot of heartache.
Pick the coop spot
Choose a dry, flat spot you can see from a window. You'll walk this path every day, so make it one you like.
Get your first tools
A basket for eggs, soft pads for the nest, and a feeder that doesn't waste. That's enough to start.
Starter Tools
Only what your first step needs.
Start with one. Add the rest when you're ready.

Questions
"But what about..."
Do I need a rooster?
No. Hens lay eggs without a rooster. Many towns don't allow roosters anyway, because they're loud.
How many hens should I start with?
Hens like company, so start with a small group, not one. Your city rules and your coop size decide the rest.
Is it a lot of work?
A few minutes in the morning and a few at night. Food, water, eggs, door. Most people say it's the calmest part of the day.
