Our Mission

At Jen’s Hens, we’re passionate about showcasing how rewarding keeping hens can be while taking the stress out of making a long-term commitment.
Our mission is simple: help people reconnect with where their food comes from, live more sustainably and reduce household waste. Our hen rental service offers you the opportunity to keep hens, enjoy fresh eggs and make mindful choices that lead to a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle—one happy hen at a time.

Fresh, Local Eggs with a Personal Touch

Jen’s Hens enables families to raise their own happy hens and have access to fresh eggs in their own backyard. We provide feed for the rental period - including certified organic, soy and gluten-free feed if requested - to ensure your flock is well-nourished. The result? Daily fresh eggs that not only taste delicious but are more sustainable than store-bought alternatives.

Sustainable Living, One Hen at a Time

Australian households produce around 2.5 million tonnes of food waste each year! Raising hens allows you to recycle food scraps and turn them into nutrient-rich eggs. The chicken droppings make great compost for your garden and hens are natural pest controllers, helping reduce the need for harmful pesticides in your backyard.

Encouraging Family Bonding and Screen-Free Fun

In today’s digital age, kids often spend hours in front of screens. Jen’s Hens offers a fun and educational alternative, especially during school holidays. Children get the chance to connect with nature, interact with the hens, collect fresh eggs and learn about animal care. These hands-on experiences create wonderful moments that the kids will love.

Hens and Your Household

Keeping hens is not a lighthearted decision! How will other pets react? Will the kids will stay interested? Do you get chicks that require a heat lamp and don’t lay for up to 20 weeks or hens? Are you able to organise vaccinations? Do you buy a cheap coop that won't last or a durable coop that requires a big investment? What happens if you travel or move house? These are all important questions to ask. Additionally, hens can live over 5 years! Jen’s Hens takes the stress out of the equation. Our initial 4 week hen rental service gives you the opportunity to see how hens fit into your home before making a commitment. Whether you have a large backyard or a small garden, we provide everything required throughout the rental period, helping you make an informed choice about welcoming hens into your family long term.
