Every flock reflects its keeper. Some of us knit sweaters for our hens, some of us run the numbers on every egg. Answer six quick questions to find your keeper type, plus the breeds that suit you and the tools that fit how you keep chickens.
The four chicken keeper types
- The Chicken Spoiler. Hens are family. Small flock, lots of names, lots of treats.
- The Egg-Minded Homesteader. Chickens earn their keep with eggs and compost, and the numbers have to add up.
- The Coop Planner. Code checked, yard measured and the coop sketched twice before the chicks arrive.
- The Free-Range Spirit. Let chickens be chickens. Busy hens, relaxed keeper.
Most of us are a mix. Take it again and answer for your partner, then try the backyard chicken trivia quiz or browse all our free chicken tools.
