If you want to start raising hens and getting your own fresh eggs daily, there are a seemingly endless amount of things you'll need. Start by DIYing your own chicken coop (or ordering one online!) and then think about finding the right feeding tools, nesting supplies, and toys for your feathered friends. To keep it simple, contain your shopping to one place with these top-rated chicken coop accessories from Amazon.
If you're unsure where you should begin when creating the perfect home for your flock, don't be!
