Frequently Asked Questions

🌿 General Questions

  • We start with a quick consultation to make sure your space is a good fit for chickens. You can begin with a phone consultation, and all rentals require an in-home consultation for safety and setup planning.

    The in-home consultation is $30 (within Albuquerque city limits), and that fee is applied toward your rental if you move forward.

    From there, we’ll help you choose the right setup—number of hens, coop size, and any add-ons like educational resources or coop cleaning support.

    Your chicken experience typically lasts 6–8 weeks, and we provide everything you need—setup, guidance, and ongoing support—so you can enjoy the experience with confidence. 🐔💛

  • We can adjust based on your preferences and needs. To start, you can keep the coop and the chickens for a minimum of four weeks and up to eight weeks.

  • Ages 0-110. This is a valueable learning experience for any age group.

  • No prior experience is necessary.

  • We currently serve Albuquerque and surrounding areas.

    For locations outside of Albuquerque city limits, we’re happy to explore options with you. Additional travel fees may apply and will be discussed during your consultation.

    If you’re located elsewhere in New Mexico, feel free to reach out—we’re always open to conversations and will do our best to accommodate when possible. 💛

🏡 Backyard Setup & Requirements

  • Here’s a quick checklist to see if your space is chicken-ready:

    ✔ A shaded area (trees or partial shade to protect from heat)
    ✔ A spot for the coop on grass, dirt, gravel, or cement
    ✔ A space you’re okay with getting a little worn (chickens may affect grass)
    ✔ Good airflow/breeze—especially during warmer months
    ✔ A safe, level area for the coop setup

    ✨ Good to know:

    • Chickens love to scratch, dig, and dust bathe—we provide materials like wood chips and a dust bath to support this.

    • We’ll help you choose the best setup and placement during your consultation.

    If you’re not sure, don’t worry—that’s exactly what we’re here for! 🐔💛
