I am so thrilled to announce that My Pet Chicken will be reviewing and giving away a copy of A Kid’s Guide to Keeping Chickens today on their blog! Of course, kids and chickens go hand in hand and I love that the owners and employees of My Pet Chicken have kids of their own.
The other exciting news is My Pet Chicken is graciously giving away ” The Clubhouse” chicken coop (learn more about this coop by clicking on the highlighted link) to one of our lucky readers!
When we first started out with chickens, My Pet Chicken is where we began our journey. I loved that they had a breed selection tool to help us choose the best breeds for us. I was thrilled that they had many breeds to chose from and you could mix and match them in your order. However, the best part for us was that they had a 3 chick minimum order. This is what made keeping chickens in my yard doable. I didn’t have to order a minimum of 25 chicks.
We purchased a very similar coop from My Pet Chicken for our first little babies. Since then, we have had such wonderful experiences with this supportive and friendly company over the years. These smaller coops are great for small flocks and also make wonderful brooders or isolation coops for those already with larger flocks.
But that is not all! Did you also know that the experts at My Pet Chicken have written their own book about chickens? It’s another great one to add to your chicken library as well! Click here for more details or to order a signed copy. So head on over and visit the My Pet Chicken blog to win a copy of both my book and theirs!
I hope you will join us for the rest of our book tour to meet some new chicken friends, discover new bloggers and join in celebrating the release of my first book.
Fine Print: One random winner will be chosen for the coop. The coop ships to a physical address (no P.O. Boxes) in the 48 continuous United States. The opinions in this post are my own and I have not been compensated to say theses lovely things.
From the Rafflecopter Entry Page: The coop will ships to a physical US address in the 48 continuous United States. Your email will be added to My Pet Chicken’s and Storey Publishing’s newsletters but will never be sold. One winner will be randomly selected. Good luck!

This is wonderful! We just got four sweet little chicks about three weeks ago and are still thinking about coops. Meanwhile the chicks are getting big! Thanks for the wonderful giveaways this week, I'm really enjoying finding all of these new online resources for chicken keeping.
I would love to win this coop. It would allow me to get more chicks. This would be such a cute addition to my home.
I am hoping to win this book for my grand daughter. But, the comments I have been seeing from the reviews is that it is a book for all age levels. Looking forward to reading it…if I win or not, it will be added to the chicken library.
Oops! Wrote before seeing what to write about…I'd use the coop for the new chics I will be getting. Then put them with the bigger girls.
Awesome info all this has been . Thanks for sharing . Happy First day of Spring !
My 11 year old daughter would use it to breed her 4-H Iowa Blue chickens. Oh how happy she would be if we surprised her with a new "bachelor pad"! If not the bachelor pad, she'd use it for their babies. 🙂
We need a quarantine coop! Thanks so much!!
Would get chickens after my move
We have plans to move out of the suburbs, away from neighborhood associations, where we can have the freedom to raise chickens! This would be an amazing starter for us, and it's getting me even more eager to move. Spring, chickens, new beginnings, right?
We just brought home a dozen chickens to enjoy fresh eggs and companionship but are unable to afford a coop. We are raising them in our garage until we can find them a coop. We are in desperate need! Thank you kindly.
Need this for our girls to have a second coop
we would put our hopefully brooding hen in it
I would get chickens FINALLY! We have been researching it (and hope to win the books!) but it all seems really overwhelming. This would be awesome to win and would give us the push that we need 🙂
Would love to win this. Have wanted chickens for ages but due to a limited income, I have not been able to get a coop.
Want to win – need to have a coop in order to have my chickens.

We could really put this coop to good use around here.

I would place it where my chickens could come in at night after being on the range during the day!
I would use it to start a small flock for my grandson.
I would love to win this coop, then I could get the Golden laced Wyandotte I want so badly!
This would make a great coop to start young birds in inside the larger chicken yard so they could get used to each other.
I would be back into keeping chickens. Would love it.
I am building a new pen for the flock and this would be a great coop to add to the pen. I have also entered into the children's book giveaway so I am hoping to be honored by winning one of the gifts. Thank you for your generosity.
If I won this coop, it would replace my "baby" coop and be the prime place for my tween, teen girls before integrating into the flock. Right now, getting the littles to grass is a hassle, not to mention a logistical nightmare.
Would love a little chick coop!
I would love this coop for a transitional brooder, hospital or just plain chicken math (Quarantine Division of course )
If I won, I'd have to get a couple chickens to put in it! Great giveaway! Thank you!

This coop would be a great addition to our backyard homestead!

We just got three new babies, two red sextons and a black australorp, and my husband is going to try and build them something, but it would be wonderful if I could win this and save him some time! He's a full-time ranger for the Army Corps, a part-time student, and a full-time daddy, so his time is very precious!
We bought some property and don't have a coop for it yet–this would be perfect.
Thank you so much for the giveaway !! We would love it for our first 6 little chicks!
I would use it to expand my flock! What a nice giveaway. Big thanks to My Pet Chicken!
Bantam flock!
Reading My Pet Chicken and getting ready to start my new feathered family. This coop would be perfect!
This coop would be perfect for my new chickens. Right now they are living on my porch and go outside during the day. This would make it easier so I don't have to carry them everyday outside. (but I do love the cuddles)
If I won this coop I would use it to house my very first flock. Congratulations on the release of your first book!
My wife and I just bought our first (and hopefully forever) home in a small ag community. We have been talking chickens and this would push that over the edge.
A home for my girls! As of now I am raising them in a large box in the mudroom. They are happy little chicks as
I play Mozart on the radio for them. Warm afternoons I take them outside for some fresh air, then it's back inside
with the radio on. But soon they will out grow this arrangement & I'll need a real coop.
Congrats on your new book! Looking forward to reading it.
I would love to win this and put some chickens in it! How fun! I can't wait to get started with my first chickens.
If I should win, this coop would go to my grandson, he is 8 yrs old and loves his chickens . The old coop is in need of repair/replacing to make it easier to clean and keep out predators. I think this would be ideal. Thank you for considering my entry.
This is an awesome giveaway and perfect for my kids first year of raising chickens
Congratulations on your book!!
If I won, it would go to my kids. They've fallen in love with chickens but want something cuter for themselves. When they get the coop and $ saved up, we'll be getting a little flock of silkies, showgirl silkies at that lol. I think they look silly, but whatever strikes their fancy lol
My cheepies would love this coop. I would put it in a different area of the yard and make it their "summer home".
We have three children and are looking to buy chickens for the first time this year for them to enjoy. This would be just perfect for us to have as we look to keep hens for the first time ever!

What a great coop! I would raffle it off to raise money for our school's new outdoor classroom.
I would use this coop for my rooster. He is currently living in a "cage" while I get the funds together to figure out another option. He hasn't been the nicest to me, but I raised him and I can't bare to part with him…so going to separate him from my girls.
Need a new comfy spot for my chickens.

I would love to win this coop for my new spring chicks. It would be a great addition to my farm, giving them a safe place to play. Thank you so much for the great giveaway!
If I won this wonderful coop, I would use it to start the very first small flock of chickens that I have been planning to start since moving into an old, early-1900s, little, white farmhouse in East Tennessee at the end of last year. The landscape is just lovely and I think this beautiful coop would not only be a good size for the six chickens I plan to order, but would also be a nice addition to the charm and appeal of the property.
I discovered your blog while looking for plans for a chicken coop that we could build, but I appreciate the opportunity to enter this giveaway for a premade Coop! Thank you!
