About FlockSavvy

FlockSavvy is a resource for backyard chicken keepers — from first-time coop builders to seasoned flock owners. We publish under the FlockSavvy name as an editorial team, and we hold our guides to one standard: be the most accurate, genuinely useful version on the topic.

How we research

Every guide is built from primary sources — university extension services, avian veterinary references, breed standards, and manufacturer specifications — and, where we review gear, hands-on testing. We update pages as guidance changes.

• We rely on primary sources — university extension services (poultry/animal science), avian veterinary references, recognized breed standards, and manufacturer specifications.
• For gear, our recommendations are based on hands-on testing and documented specs — not on whatever pays the most.
• We date our pages and revise them as guidance, products, or our own testing change.

Bringing in real expertise

As FlockSavvy grows, individual guides are reviewed by experienced keepers and poultry professionals, credited by name on the pages they review. Health topics are general information, not a substitute for a veterinarian.
