HenAcre is an educational resource for people raising backyard chickens and other small poultry. Its practical guides cover the flock’s lifecycle, from choosing breeds and preparing for chicks to feeding birds, collecting eggs, and managing health. Topics include coop and run design, space requirements, predator-proof fencing, ventilation, seasonal care, hatching, and the needs of ducks, quail, and bantams. The site also offers breed profiles and advice on starter, grower, and layer feed, grit, and calcium. For common health concerns, HenAcre explains prevention and warning signs while advising keepers to consult a poultry veterinarian when birds are sick.

HenAcre emphasizes real-world numbers, honest tradeoffs, and information informed by university extension research and USDA guidance. Its flock planner estimates space, roosting, nest-box, feed, and egg requirements based on flock size. Readers can also find hands-on projects, including DIY feeders and brooders, alongside guidance on topics such as egg storage, mites, worms, and coop litter. Built and tested in a real backyard, HenAcre presents educational information for both new and experienced keepers.
