I’m Valerie. By day I am a financial planner but any spare second I find is dedicated to my love of chickens. I didn’t know a thing about building coops or raising chickens when I got my first flock in 2016. My first few coops were not what you call pretty but each time I build a new one, I learn a little more: how to make it more secure against predators, how to access the inside easier, where my chickens like to hang out…and I continue to learn more.

In 2024 I found myself in between jobs with three months to kill so I let curiosity rule the day. I saw that traditional chicken tractors are boring, clunky, and require constant monitoring to prevent bare spots in your lawn and keep your hens happy. I thought, how funny would it be if there was a chicken coop rumba thing that moved around the lawn and also provided breakfast? …and Lawn Chicks was born! My actions are largely motivated with joy and fun as the end goal and I hope that is what your Lawn Chick brings to you.
