About FlockGuide

Getting into backyard chickens shouldn't require a college degree. But if you've ever tried to research it, you know the feeling: hours of digging through forums, YouTube videos, and conflicting advice just to answer basic questions like "how much space do chickens need?" and "what breed should I start with?"

FlockGuide is what we wished existed when we started learning about chickens. A simple, no-nonsense guide that covers everything from picking your first breeds to building (or buying) a coop to dealing with your first sick hen.

What We Believe

• Chickens are easier than most people think
• You don't need a huge yard or a lot of money to start
• Good information should be free
• When we recommend a product, it's because we actually think it's good (not because someone paid us to say so)
