To keep chickens in the garden? That is a great idea in itself. Chickens are lovable animals and you have fresh eggs in the house every day. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when keeping chickens in the garden.

Do other animals live in your house or garden? Then you have to watch carefully, especially at the beginning, whether the coexistence works well. Problems can quickly arise with dogs and cats when chickens move into your garden. In this case, instead of letting your chickens roam free, think about getting a covered enclosure. At Animalhouseshop.de we have many different outdoor enclosures on offer for you!
fencing
Of course, if you keep chickens in the garden, your garden needs to be well fenced. At Animalhouseshop.de we have a luxurious fence package on offer, with which you can make your garden chicken-proof in no time at all. Tired of sharing the whole garden with your feathered friends? Then we recommend an outdoor enclosure for chickens.
chicken coop
Even the most beautiful and largest garden is not sufficient for keeping chickens appropriate to the species in the garden. A chicken coop is essential: the chickens can sleep comfortably in it at night and are well protected in cold and windy climates. At Animalhouseshop.de you will find a large selection of high quality chicken coops. Almost all of our chicken coops are equipped with a nest where your chickens can rest and lay their eggs.

A rooster in the garden
If you have a certain number of chickens, you can consider buying a rooster as well. He guards his chickens and gives you a feeling of security. Note, however, that when keeping chickens in the garden, a rooster with its crows can lead to conflicts with the neighbors.
Chicken breeds
Before you start raising chickens in the garden, it is essential that you do some research on the different breeds of chicken. Some larger breeds of chickens tend to plow the earth as they scratch. This is rather inconvenient if you want to keep chickens in the garden. Some chicken breeds are simply unsuitable for keeping chickens in the garden. An ideal breed of chicken for keeping chickens in the garden is the bantam. Bantams don’t take up a lot of space and are known for being child-friendly. Their less pronounced scratching behavior is also good for your garden.
