Meet Jenny from Backyard Chickens Mama 🐓
Jenny is a longtime backyard chicken enthusiast who has raised a variety of chicken breeds in her Northern California backyard for more than 27 years.
Favorite Chicken Breeds 🥚
Jenny especially enjoys incubating and hatching fertile chicken eggs and raising baby chicks from day one. Over the years, she has raised many different breeds and loves the colorful variety they bring to the coop and egg basket.
Together, these beautiful breeds create a colorful basket of farm fresh eggs in shades of blue, olive, brown, cream, and speckled tones.
Together, Jenny and her husband built their own chicken coop, and she and her dad built her current chick brooder setup for raising young chicks safely and comfortably.
Over the years, Jenny has learned countless practical tips and flock care routines through hands-on experience caring for her own chickens. She loves sharing those simple, realistic ideas to help others raise happier, healthier, and more productive backyard chickens naturally.
Jenny first created her original Nesting Box Herbs blend to help support calmer hens, cleaner nesting boxes, and healthy laying routines naturally.
As Backyard Chickens Mama continued to grow, additional seasonal herbal blends were developed to help support chickens year-round — including Cooling Herbs for Chickens for hot summer weather and Warming Herbs for Chickens for chilly winter months.
Today, Backyard Chickens Mama offers a full collection of natural herbal chicken care products — including their popular Seasonal Blends bundle — designed to support happier, healthier, more comfortable hens through every season.
