The Flock Box

What's in the box: A monthly mix of chicken treats, coop toys or activities, flock health items, and a small gift for the keeper, sourced from US brands and artisans.

The Flock Box is a monthly subscription for backyard chicken keepers. It was founded by Jessica, whose family has kept hens since the early 1990s. She has written two books on the subject, The Backyard Chicken Keeper's Bible and The Little Book of Chickens. Each box mixes chicken treats, coop toys and activities, and health items with a gift or two for the keeper. There are two sizes. The Original box is meant for flocks of five or more, and the Mini box is sized for two to four birds. The Original is listed at $49.99 and the Mini at $34.99. The site offers free US shipping on all subscription boxes. Products come from US brands and artisans, and the company says it picks items with the birds' health in mind. It also says it donates $1 from every box to chicken rescues and sanctuaries. The site does not show sample contents in detail, list ingredients, or explain how to skip or cancel, so check those points before you subscribe. The monthly cost adds up for a hobby flock, but the box is a thoughtful pick for keepers who like to spoil their hens or for a chicken-loving friend as a gift.
