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 families reconnect with where their food comes from, live more sustainably and reduce household waste. By offering the opportunity to enjoy fresh, daily eggs, we empower families to make mindful choices that lead to a healthier, happier, and more sustainable lifestyle—one hen at a time.

Fresh, Local Eggs with a Personal Touch

At Jen’s Hens, we make it easy for families to enjoy fresh, daily eggs by raising their own happy hens right in their backyard. We provide the feed needed for the entire rental period - including certified organic, soy and gluten-free feed if requested - thereby ensuring your flock is well-nourished. The result? Fresh eggs, free of additives and chemicals, that taste better and 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. Jen's Hens is dedicated to reducing household waste in a meaningful way. Raising hens allows you to recycle food scraps and turn them into nutrient-rich eggs while the chicken droppings make great compost for your garden. Additionally, hens are an integral part of natural pest control, 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, giving children the chance to connect with nature by interacting with hens, collecting fresh eggs and learning about animal care. These hands-on experiences not only bring families closer but also teach valuable life skills, responsibility and the importance of sustainable living.

Hens and Your Household

Keeping hens is not a lighthearted decision—there are many factors to consider, from whether the kids will stay interested to how other pets will react. Do you get chicks that require a heat lamp or hens? What type of coop is suitable? What happens if you travel? Additionally, hens can live over 5 years! At Jen’s Hens we take the stress out of the equation. Our 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.
