THE BROOKLYN CHICKEN CLUB

Thanks to grant and individual support, four years ago we established the Brooklyn Chicken Club. The goal is to share facts and information about chickens and urban chicken keeping in particular. Check out our coop tour video to get acquainted with our flock and backyard set-up.

​
We look forward to sharing educational opportunities for kids and adults related to poultry science. 

• If you were a chicken, what would you eat? Chickens are omnivores, this means they eat a diet of fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, and meat. Check out what the Lab hens enjoy eating to learn more.
  
  
• Chickens are oviparous, this means they are egg-laying. Although the inside of the eggs are all the same, the pigment of the outside shell varies. But how? Learn more here.
  
  
• Something really cool happens after a chicken lays an egg. Check it out here.
