Ha! When I first moved into my current house I thought about building a portable one--a chicken tractor--you can move it around the yard so the chickens can eat the ticks and such in different parts of the yard, and still stay safe from predators. I made up the plans, but decided I already had enough animals to feed, and didn't do it. You can find plans for 'em all over the net now.....how's that for a niche! ;-)

That site is getting some traffic. I'd drive a little to it and if it converts, you'd have a nice little money maker.

Bobru, Cool. A portable chicken coop!
Craig, definitely a purple cow. Not the kind of product you'd expect to find on Clickbank though. I still think Hillbilly is behind it I'm imagining what marketing approach he would take with something like this.Grant |

Hmmmm.....sounds like something worth checking in to. Seriously. I lived in Kentucky for 5 years and in just about every town in the state, it's legal to keep chickens in your back yard. I lived inside the city limits, in a small neighborhood and I kept chickens and my neighbor had ducks. Even here in Florida, I see chickens in some of the yards.
AND...I spent a LOT of time on the internet looking for chicken coop plans. If you're really into raising chickens, there's a lot more to it than just throwing up 4 walls and a roof. |

This apparently is getting to be a big thing. Just last week the local news had a story about a guy that was catching grief from the city he was in because he was raising like 3 or for chickens in his backyard for eggs and meat. Apparently many people are going back to raising poultry and gardening

it's not a dumb thing at all - farmer's have known that for years

The world is changing at a fast pace. Now there are live animals that one can keep and use for meat or to lay actual eggs. How should one capitalize on this new so-called "chicken" technology? Personally, I'm going to await the development of Chicken 2.0 as I think it will have a web interface that will make it much more useful to internet marcluckers.

If I didn't live in downtown philly I'd be raising my own eggs as well. Plus I'd love a full rotisserie chicken every now and then
![]() Wonder if I can train my hamsters to lay eggs! Write me an ebook about that and I'll pay 29.95! Whoever is making this has high production values, so the only trick is finding the people who want to build chicken coops. |

300k people searching for chicken coop says Google's AdWords Tool.
If I didn't get so easily attached to these critters I'd do one. But then I'd have to kill them. Better let the dirty work for somebody else. Hey, It's outsourcing your food supply. Mike Filsaime said you should outsource things you don't like! Tyrus

My 79 year old Mother in-Law lives in a suburb of Sacramento and has had chickens in her backyard for a couple of years now. I think she has 3 hens, chicks and a rooster and thoroughly enjoys them. She doesn't have the big, full size chickens, but ones that are smaller. She puts them up at night in dog carriers or they roost in a trumpet vine on her back patio. A portable coop is a terrific idea.
If you only have 3 or 4, there shouldn't be enough "waste" to worry about it, and their bug eating is a real plus. The biggest concern are the predators. On a similar note, we raise beef cows but have discovered a niche in the friendly, family milk cow. When we have one, it sells within a couple , sometimes hours, at a very good price. It will take some time, but we are going to increase our presence in that niche. |

Man... Sounds like a great idea, but for the 5AM "wake up call" by the rooster. I wonder if the book has a tip or two to trick the resident Rooster to do 8AM "wake up calls".
I think that's the part that would get neighbors to take note and call the Mayor's hotline. Sam |

My grandparents used to raise chickens (they lived right beside us too but the rooster was actually kind of cool). I wish back then they'd had the correct plans to build a working chicken coop because most of it was some of that tacky bright green roofing stuff with some boards nailed up on the sides. So there's definitely a market!

My mom built one. Didn't buy the guide though. :P Now we've got 6 chickens, and at least 6 dozen organic eggs.
Seriously, with all the health risks in today's food products, you just want to become a farmer. |

Yikes...
I am a city girl at heart and always will be...when I was down in Florida with Vince...just around the corner was a house that had chickens and roosters I thought it was the craziest thing to see, I've even got pictures of them walking along the street... Could never be a farm girl either...would get too upset eating my friends...as my children would probably too...not a blood and guts girl LOL.. BUT...in the current economic state, I could very well see the potential in the gardening, farming, raising animals niches...I know even I've thought of putting in side strawberry, and other berry type plants in the back yard to offset the rising food costs.

I live in NY, the suburbs of Long Island. Believe it or not there are several "backyard farmers" in Brooklyn. They do organic eggs, organic gardens. It's very popular in the city on rooftop gardens and small neighbourhood gardens in the Village and Tribeca, too. It's very chic in the city to grow your own organic stuff in raised beds and fertilize with chickens in a tractor-style coop.
There's a huge Farmer's Market in Union Square and another in Tribeca, too. With the crappy economy it'll probably get even more popular. Oh, and roosters are only necessary if you want fertilized eggs to make babies. Otherwise, hens lay unfertilized eggs without a rooster. |

I live in MA suburb with about 70 houses. There are 2 neighbors raising chickens in the coops.
One lives next to my home. Well… They do have a rooster. And he is a very ambitious one. And not every night… I have very good night sleep. |

Apparently so, yes. Keeping chickens and growing your own veg is very 'trendy' right now (in the UK anyway). Waiting lists for allotments (tiny plots of land for growing stuff on provided at peppercorn rent by the council) are at record levels and the Iglu hen house is a hot seller despite costing almost £400 (over $600)!

Yep... we have three major things working for the "back to basics" niche:
1. Food sickness/scares left and right over the last year 2. Crashed economy and several years of problems still predicted 3. (US) government push for sustainable/renewable energy People have woken up big time and realized their "security" in job, banks, retirement funds, etc aren't so secure after all... so they're responding. - They're looking for ways to moonlight, freelance, or start their own business. - And they're looking for ways to sustain themselves in a more realistic "secure" way at home. That means they're starting to grow their own food. People all over the country are ripping out perfectly manicured landscaped front yards and planting vegetable gardens. They're learning what compost is, how to make it and how to use it. They're looking at waterless/composting toilets. They're looking at natural heating and cooling techniques for their home. And yes they're raising chickens ![]() This niche has grown really well in the last year and I expect it to keep booming for several more at the very least. |

Thanks a lot, Sylvia! Thanks for telling the entire world I live around the corner from a bunch of chickens, and friggin' roosters! I'm suprised you didn't mention the goat....and the 3 little pigs! By the way....the chicken you enjoyed in my joint? Where do you'se think it came from? Yep...the butcher around the corner who is zoned residential. Anyway, Vinnie don't believe in recessions....but for those who do....check out the magazine MOTHER EARTH NEWS.....for a slew of ideas you can capitalize on. Also....this is a classic niche for old public domain material that you can literally recycle and stamp your name on it. All those old public domain books on raising chickens et al.....written a 100 years ago...can now be dusted off...repackaged...and sold to a whole new generation of gloom and doomers with money to burn.

Oddly enough, the number of chickens and goats in my area has skyrocketed in the last year or so. Now, admittedly, I live in the boondocks, but even so, there are now five or six places on my way to work where people have chickens just running around, and probably twice as many with goats.
I'm not entirely sure what's up with the goats - nobody eats them, as far as I know. The chickens are dinner on foot, though. It's a miracle I haven't run any over yet, as it stands. |

uhm...i might do some keyword research. If people come up with such products there is usually a reason. This might be an untapped niche with high demand and worth to check out.
Add: Yes..thats an amazing micro niche. Quite some searches for those plans. |
