About Us

We are a movement. A backyard movement of crazy chicken people spreading their love across the world. We believe in the happy, healthy, spoiled chicken. We believe in treating animals right. We believe our project has what it takes to make the world a better place, one chicken at a time.

We're committed to doing all we can to help homeless and abused hens. Through our Help-a-Hen Program, Backyard Chicken Project donates 10% of all profits to our local animal shelter to aid in the care of their chickens. You can help a suffering hen find a new, loving home. Shop in our boutique or contact us for sponsorship options if you want to lend a wing.

  • Is anyone else really missing the sun and green today? While I love the cold and snowy winter, seasonal depression is real, man. The lack of daylight and sunshine really start getting to me this time of the year. It especially hits when I look back at photos like this from summer, when I was sprawled out on the lawn chilling with my chickens. These days it's more like run through the snow to the coop, do a quick water and food check, frantically gather the half frozen eggs, and toss mealworms around like a crazy person so I can rush back into the warmth of the wood stove. I'm not through with winter yet, but a little sunshine once in a while would sure be nice.⛄❄️ . . . . . #backyardchickenproject #fluffybuttfriday #fluffybutt #fluffybuttsofinstagram #chickens #backyardchickens #backyardchooks #fluffybutts #chickensofinstagram #chickensofig #freerangechickens #freerangingchickens #freerangeflock #ilovechickens #crazychickenlady #mypetchicken

  • This was one of my first experiments with watercolors as an adult. I hadn't touched this type of paint since elementary art class. I was hesitant to try watercolor again because I remembered it being temperamental, hard to control, and hard to mix. All of this is still true, but with a little effort, and a little help from Skillshare, I managed to get better and better at painting. I'm still no expert, and I'm always learning, but I'm proud of how far I've come in just a few years. 🎨 . . . Looking back at this first try, I wish the effort could be replicated. The loose lines and carefree style still speak to me, but I don't even know how to paint like that anymore. Funny how much you can change as an artist in just a few years! 👩‍🎨 . . . #backyardchickenproject #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #chickenart #watercolorsketch #roostersofinstagram #rooster #Ilovechickens #crazychickenlady #chickenmom #chickensofinstagram #drphmartins #paintpaintpaint #painteveryday #sketch #watercolorsketchbook
  • Isn’t it amazing how much difference a few weeks can make in the life of a chick? It’s always astounding to me to see them develop so quickly from awkward gangly teenagers with baby feathers poking out, to beautiful silky smooth adults. . . . . Swipe to see the transformation of this little roo. He was an Easter Egger and had the most interesting coloring with orange feathers and a black beard! . . . #backyardchickenproject #chickensofig #chickensofinstagram #backyardchickens #eastereggers #easteregger #chooks #mypetchicken
  • 🙋‍♂️Raise your hand if you raise ducks! 🙋 . . . Those of you who raise ducks with chickens... how well do they get along? Do you find the cleanup from the ducks to be particularly... shall we say... disgusting? Because we did.... . . . We raised a small flock of Cayugas for a year right in the chicken coop, and it was a total disaster. There was water, just, everywhere. And all the time. There was no escape, even in the winter the ducks splashed in the water founts, creating an ice rink on the floor of the coop. The ducks also picked on our chickens constantly, pulling on their tails and biting at them. We finally said enough is enough, and found a lovely new home for the ducks with people who had the space and the love for these adorable but messy creatures. . . . So I'm curious, have any of you had the same experience? Totally different? I'd love to hear about it, and I'm sure plenty of other people would too! . . . . #backyardchickenproject #ducks #cayugaducks #mypetchickenofficial #backyardpoultry #backyardpoultrymag #ducksofinstagram #backyardducks #poultry
