What We Do

It has been said that "necessity is the mother of invention."   As more people are interested in keeping backyard chickens, the need for an affordable and attractive, yet predator-proof mobile chicken coop has been the driving factor behind the development of the Henpen.  In January 2009 Randy began working on a mobile chicken coop that would be easy to move, easy to maintain and provide safety to the hens that would live inside.  The result has been one of the best-selling "chicken tractors" in the industry.  Henpen sales have surpassed Randy and Cynthia's greatest expectations.  Feedback from customers has been tremendous!  We are convinced that you too will be satisfied with your Henpen purchase.

Many cities across the country are changing their policies concerning backyard poultry.  As a result, more and more backyard chicken coops are springing up everywhere.  People have re-discovered the age-old art of farming in their own backyards.  Backyard chickens are an easy way to get started.  And Rooster Hill Farms is dedicated to helping you get your backyard coops ready.  Caring for hens in a backyard chicken coop is much easier than you may think.  And rewarding too!

Chickens also make great pets.  Keeping backyard chickens can help teach your children about the responsibilities of keeping animals.  It costs very little to keep a small flock of backyard chickens.  Many people quickly become attached to the hens living in their backyard coops.  As a rule of thumb, hens that lay brown eggs are far less flighty than hens that lay white eggs. 

Chickens are not as noisy as people think.  Many people have discovered that their neighbors have been keeping small flocks in their backyard coops for years without anyone knowing about them.  Roosters, on the other hand, are very noisy.  Most city ordances do not allow people to keep roosters in their backyard coops.

Another common misconception is that backyard chickens leave a stinky mess.  While it is true that backyard chickens do leave manure droppings, those droppings are nitrogen-rich fertilizers.  And, when handled properly, the leave very little or no foul smells.  So, backyard chickens, kept in well-maintained backyard coops do not present a nuisance at all.
