Chicken Books

  • Storey’s Guide To Raising Chickens: Care / Feeding / Facilities  Covers everything you need to know to get started with your own chickens.
  • Poultry House Construction DIY plans for making a small chicken coop.

Chicken Websites

  • BackYardChickens.com This website has forums for discussing raising chickens and a gallery of chicken coops to provide inspiration.
  • Working Wings Chicken Tractor This chicken tractor provided a lot of inspiration for my own chicken tractor.

Chicken Products

  • Avian Aqua Miser – This automatic chicken waterer makes keeping chickens more enjoyable by preventing the chickens from pooping in their own water.
  • Add-A-Motor D20 – With the addition of a a timer this motor automates the letting the chickens out in the morning and closing the door at night.
