Heritage Hen Collective

I started Heritage Hen Collective after getting my town to approve a community chicken collective—even though backyard chickens aren’t allowed. Now I’m sharing what I learned so you can explore doing the same in your community. We’ll cover how to navigate local ordinances and approvals, build community support, create a strong proposal, find a location, and turn an idea into a working program. I’ll also share how to establish and operate a chicken collective, including memberships, volunteers, funding, flock care, programming, and day-to-day operations. Follow along as I build Heritage Hen Collective from the ground up.
