More people than ever are taking action to improve their overall food security. For some this means planting a vegetable garden or stocking up on non-perishable food items. For others starting a small poultry farm is a way to take control of protein needs. Others still just want to start a new project, save a little bit on groceries, and earn a little extra money selling eggs. Whatever your reason, we’ll help you come up with a catchy name for this hobby farm.

The advantage to raising poultry over other animals is that you can do so with a limited amount of space and low startup cost. You only need 3 square feet of room per chicken in a coop. Chicken feed is low cost and you can expect to spend less than $100 per month on feed even if you purchase higher-quality, non-GMO product.

I’ve organized a list of chicken farm name suggestions by category below. At the end of the post, I share my own experience raising chickens and the four things you need to consider before making the leap. Let’s do this!

My Own Experience Raising Chickens

group of chickens

A small flock of chickens.

I have experience raising chickens. Growing up in the 90s, my family had a chicken coop in the backyard. I grew up in a rural Minnesota town and the large yellow coop came with the purchase of the home.

The unit had been converted into a storage shed for many years before finally being used for its intended purpose one spring. After a trip to the Home of Economy (sort of like a Tractor Supply), we had everything we needed to care for backyard chickens. We raised about 10 chickens during that spring, summer and fall.

Here are a few considerations you’ll need to think about before moving forward with a poultry hobby farm based on my own experience:

  • Seasonality: If you live in an area that gets brutally cold (like Northwest Minnesota), you need a plan for keeping the chickens warm during the winter. Hens are hearty creatures that can puff up their feathers to keep warm in the winter. But during periods of extreme cold you’ll want to provide additional insulation in their home using old newspapers or cardboard. These will need to be changed out regularly to maintain cleanliness. For more information about caring for chickens during the winter, here’s a fantastic article on the subject.
  • Predators:  Make sure you’ve got a strong protective coop. Even if you don’t live in an area with say wolves there animals that could come along and harm your tribe even in town. We had a neighbor dog come along that tried to break into the coop. Domestic cats can also harm chicks so keep them out of harms way while young.
  • Time: Chickens are self sufficient creatures. They don’t require you to be around for companionship like a dog will. With that being said, you don’t want to take off for a week long vacation if you’re caring for these creatures either. If you’re someone that likes to travel and not be held down this is a serious consideration unless you can find a friend or family member willing to care for the animals while you’re out.
  • The Mess: The reality is chickens are messy. Like other animals, they poop and need to be cleaned regularly. If you don’t enjoy cleaning poop or regularly adding fresh water, feed, and cleaning out the nesting box this may not be for you. It can be easy while learning about this subject to romanticize what it will be like caring for these creatures. Take time to seriously consider how much on-going work this hobby farm will be and if you’ll actually enjoy it once it’s up and running.

Stating a small poultry farm can be extremely fulfilling, but you need to know what you’re getting yourself into. You can cultivate your own eggs and raise chickens to feed your family or to sell at farmer’s markets if you’re so inclined as a way to generate a little extra money.

Let us know about the size of hobby farm you’re planning to start in the comments below. I’d love to hear about your progress with this adventure. You can also download our food business model canvas free of charge if you plan to sell eggs at farmer’s markets or other nearby events.
