Basic chicken coop needs
Here is a list of everything that you need to get started with your chickens. I had alot of questions about what I needed first….I hope this helps showing you what I have used and loved in my chicken journey.
This is my favorite chicken housing that I have. I can keep my feed dry. I can lock up the rooster in the housing to catch hens or clean the pen. I love the nesting boxes. To me this one is a 10/10.

Raising chickens
These are some of the items that I use to raise my chickens. Right now I have 4 different hatches growing this summer and 1 more in the incubator currently.
This is the incubator I have used all summer and it has been spot on. Easy to set and then just keeps everything stable until hatching.
