Urban Chicken Coops

Raise Chickens, Raise the Bar

Has your longing for a rural past been cooped up now that you live in the city? Urban chicken coops continue to be more and more popular as cities adapt to this fast-growing trend. Even in our own backyard, laws have been adjusted to accommodate the desire to domestically raise chickens. After more than 1,000 people petitioned for the legalization of these backyard chickens in Sarasota, FL, where our corporate headquarters are located, the ban was lifted and fresh eggs can now be enjoyed by all.

Backyard Benefits

There are many reasons for this feathered friend movement. Backyard chickens allow you to eat locally and enjoy some of the freshest food around. From coop to kitchen, you can enjoy your eggs in minutes as opposed to the extended period of time that commercial eggs sit in a warehouse. And because this sustainable hobby does not require much space, a variety of households can enjoy its benefits.

One of our favorite features of urban chicken coops is the ability to involve children in the fun. Not only can your children or grandchildren have an interesting pet, they can also learn about where their food comes from and learn responsibility. Children will become accustomed to being thankful for what animals provide for them.

In addition to being unique, entertaining pets with their hilarious personalities, chickens also help to keep your garden fertilized. What’s more, chickens provide a natural pest control by eating  insects. As you can see, these pets offer many benefits for your family and for your home.

Various Sizes, All Big Impact
