Backyard chicken keeper
Keeping hens in an ordinary backyard
I’m Nora. I make short videos about keeping a few hens in a suburban backyard, and I sell checklists, a coop plan, a handbook and two video courses.
First hens
Three hens, a small coop and a weekend to get ready.
The coop
A coop and a run that keep the hens safe and dry.
Every day
Feed, water and a quick clean, in ten minutes a morning.
Eggs
Collecting them, keeping them and counting who lays what.
A year with hens
Winter, heat, moulting and a weekly health check.

About me
Six years ago I brought home three hens in the back of the car, with a coop I had built the weekend before and no idea what I was doing. They lived. Now there are five, a bigger run, a wonky gate and a bowl of eggs on the table most mornings.
Every Saturday I film one job from the backyard: feeding, cleaning, checking a hen, or building something that keeps the foxes out. What I sell is what I wish I had been handed on the first day: a plain checklist, a small coop plan, record sheets, and two video courses for people who want to start with hens and keep them well all year.
