Backyard Chicken Supplies
Whether you're setting up your very first coop or expanding a flock that's outgrown its current setup, Stromberg's has the supplies to get you there. We've spent decades helping backyard keepers get chickens right, and this is where that experience turns into gear: everything from the coop your birds sleep in to the feeder they eat from every single day.
What Every Backyard Flock Needs
New to chicken keeping? Here's the short list every flock needs, no matter its size:
- Housing – a secure coop with enough space per bird and solid predator-proofing
- A feeder and waterer – sized to your flock, refilled easily, kept clean
- Fencing – to define a run and keep predators out at ground level
- Health basics – disinfectants and first-aid supplies for routine flock care
- A brooder – necessary any time you are starting with baby chicks, whether they are shipped to you as day olds or hatched at home
- An incubator – only needed if you plan to hatch your own eggs rather than buying chicks or started birds
Housing, Fencing & Safety
Start with shelter. Our Coops & Housing Supplies collection covers everything from ready-to-assemble coop kits to nest boxes and automatic coop doors. Pair it with Netting & Fencing to keep your run predator-proof, and check Bird Identification & Transport if you're tracking individual birds with leg bands or need a safe way to move them.
Feeding, Hatching & Health
Every flock needs a reliable Feeders & Waterers setup, sized right for the number of birds you're keeping. If you're hatching your own chicks, our Incubators & Brooders collection has tabletop and cabinet options for every batch size. And when something's not quite right with a bird, Medications & Health carries disinfectants, wound care, and pest control to handle it.
Buying tip: Size your supplies to your actual flock, not the flock you might have someday. A backyard setup of 6–12 birds needs a fraction of the feeder capacity, fencing length, and coop square footage that a small commercial operation does. Buying too big just means more cleaning and more empty space for predators to eye up.
