To Keeping Chickens Enthusiasts everywhere...


The imaginatively titled 'Keeping Chickens Newsletter' is a free backyard chickens magazine that can be read online (or downloaded as a pdf to be viewed or printed offline) and aims to be a source of information and entertainment for the chicken enthusiast - i.e. anyone who has ever kept, or even looked into, keeping chickens!

The success of the Keeping Chickens Newsletter (we've recently passed our fifth year of publication!) is in large part due to our wonderful subscribers from all over the world who send in their coop photos, stories and other chicken related bits and pieces each month. I don't think any of us would say we were chicken 'experts' but the combined knowledge and sharing of experiences has proved to be both entertaining and educational.

To subscribe simply enter your name and email in the form on the right. Within a few minutes you will then receive an email from me asking you to confirm your subscription (confirmation is simply clicking a link in the email). You can also then choose your username and password for the subscribers area to access all the past issues (more than 5 years worth!).

Best Wishes

    Chicken Rearing 101

    Nola Kelsey : Pullet parenthood is as much of an adventure as child rearing, only with more feces per pound of body weight. However, I've been reading quite a bit on poultry matters. [Yes, my coolness just turned over in its grave.] So if I am correct and I am quite certain I am not, this is how chicken rearin' goes. Click To Read More

    Kristi : I've enjoyed reading your newsletter and seeing the great stories, tips, and photos your readers share. I have a tragic story that I want to share with your readers in hopes that it doesn't happen to anyone else.

  • chickens and the economy
    Chicken Bailout Plan

    Marva L. Weigelt : Before you jump to conclusions, let me assure you that extravagant executive bonuses will not be a concern; the Happiest Chicken CEO (fondly known as Big Mama, No Feathers or less respectfully as Mother Clucker) doesn't even get a salary, let alone an annual bonus.

    Puppy Sitting Pullet

    Willie & Barbara Bell : When the both of them are away from the pups, she eating or drinking, the bitch outside resting, and the pups start to yap the hen would go to their aid or if we were to walk toward the stall when she is out she would rush ahead of us to protect the pups.
