Welcome to our guide on how to keep back garden chickens. We have been keeping back yard hens for years and in this video we share what we do and a couple of tips for keeping back garden chickens in the UK.
We use the Haynes Chicken Manual amzn.to/3vt7xvF as our guide and bought our copy before we bought the chickens.
Back garden chickens are great fun most of the time and children love having the hens to look after and feed. We have many pictures of our son in the back garden holding a hen or lining them up on a fence or the coop. The chickens will get used to having a cup of corn as a treat and this makes it easy for children to put them back in their run after they have finished letting them explore the garden.
We use an automatic chicken door as it makes looking after the chickens easier. This means that when we go on holiday we only have to get someone to check the feed and water plus collect the eggs.

You will get parasites eventually with chickens. The most common is red spider mites. These turn red after sucking the chickens blood at night while they are roosting. We use Multi-Mite Diatomaceous Earth amzn.to/3osypbA to treat ours. The mites eggs will survive for months unhatched and once they hatch they multiply incredibly fast. Check your hens often and treat them as soon as you see them or just powder the perches and around the inside of the house regularly. You will see the mites under things or clumped in corners during the day.
