🔨 Step 1: Build Your Chicken Coop

You don’t need a barn or acres of land. A compact, well-ventilated chicken coop can fit in most backyards and provide enough room for a small flock.

Key Coop Features:

Nesting boxes (1 per 3–4 hens)
Roosting bars
Secure fencing to protect from predators
Weatherproof roofing
Ventilation and easy access for cleaning

The Eggs Factory blueprint provides simple coop plans with cutting diagrams and supply lists—perfect for DIYers with no prior carpentry experience.

🐔 Step 2: Choose the Right Chickens

Some breeds are friendlier, some are more productive, and some do better in small yards. Here are beginner-friendly options:

Breed	Eggs/Year	Temperament
Rhode Island Red	250–300	Hardy, friendly
Australorp	250+	Calm, excellent layers
Leghorn	280–320	Active, prolific
Plymouth Rock	200–250	Gentle, good in families

A flock of 4–6 hens is perfect for beginners and provides enough eggs for most households.

🍽 Step 3: Feed, Care, and Collect

Chickens aren’t high-maintenance, but they do need consistent care.

Daily Routine (15–20 min/day):

Feed and fresh water
Let them out for sun and scratching
Collect eggs
Quick health check (eyes, feathers, alertness)

Weekly:

Coop cleaning
Refill bedding
Inspect for pests or damage

🥚 Step 4: Enjoy (and Even Sell) Your Eggs

Each hen can produce 4–6 eggs a week. That’s over 1,000 eggs/year from a small flock—more than enough for home use, with plenty to share or sell.

Local farmers’ markets, neighbors, and community groups often prefer farm-fresh eggs for their superior taste and ethics.

💸 Can You Really Make Money With Backyard Eggs?

Absolutely. While it won’t replace a full-time job, selling just a dozen eggs a week can:

Offset feed costs
Pay for coop materials
Fund flock expansion

Many families turn this into a small side hustle, especially in neighborhoods where organic eggs are in demand.
