  • It’s simple! The hens will require that their food and water be replenished at least once a day, usually best tended to in the morning. It's recommended their coop bedding be changed at least every other week, or when it becomes smelly.

  • It is highly unlikely that a cat will hurt a chicken. Depending on the dog breed, some dogs can be trained to get along with chickens. However, for some pups the hunting instinct can't be trained out of the breed, therefore we recommend keeping them separated from the hens.

  • Based on availability, the purchase of our hens and coop should not be a problem - just let us know at least three weeks before the end of your rental period so we can make accommodations.

  • The hens can be left home alone for two to three days. This will just require a little planning ahead to make sure they have enough food and water to last the duration and assure they are secure in their coop from predators. Beyond three days, you'll want to ask a friend or family member to drop in on the hens to give them more food and water and collect eggs.
