One family's journey with backyard, urban chickens. They started out with tiny peeps, built a coop from scratch, collect and sell eggs and in the process try to bring awareness and universal acceptance of backyard chickens in urban settings.

The Twelve Days of Christmas - Hiers Hens Version
Today we take a look back at our 2015 Christmas project, The Twelve Days of Chicken Christmas by Hiers Hens (and cat). We hope everyone had as much fun seeing each of the days as we had creating them using our hens, some silly props and, in some cases, a
lot of photoshop.
We have a whole year to prepare for next year's production...I wonder what it will be...

Wish I could say all eleven ladies participated. Most were not thrilled with standing near a fake flute. |
All eleven of our chickens are represented, including a stand-in 12th chicken, Otis the cat. |
