Our goal is to facilitate the creation of an easily searchable comprehensive database including all backyard breeders & hatcheries in the United States, thereby making it easier for local purchases to be made. Shipping eggs & live poultry is safe but it also has drawbacks, so the shorter the trip the better! You’ll even have the option to provide local pickups, often lowering the cost associated with selling your eggs or live poultry.
Advertising on Backyard Hatchery is also a great idea if your farm or hatchery is too small to yet afford a website of it’s own. You will be provided with a static URL which you can then use to help advertise your own business easily. Advertising your farm or hatchery is also simple & cost effective!

About our Marketing Plan for Backyard Hatchery... Our site went online for the first time in mid February ‘09. By February 25th 2009 we were already indexed in Google & Yahoo, and have now run the complete set of directories including live, aol, ask and the list goes on. We’ll keep a running list of our advertising plans & successes here so you can track our progress.
2010 1st Quarter - BackyardChickens.com banner ad has been created and prepaid for 2 months
2009 1st Quarter - Word of mouth advertising began 2nd Quarter - The Self-Sufficient Homestead has featured us in their Podcast! To listen visit: http://sshomestead.com/?page_id=17 and download Show #8! Thanks Johnny & the Queen! 3rd Quarter - We have purchased our first small ad inside of the American Poultry Association Annual Yearbook courtesy of the United Orpington Club who has graciously allowed us space within their member section, therefore greatly reducing the upfront costs associated with placing a nice ad. I am also working toward advertising within the Poultry Press and will keep you updated as we make progress. 4th Quarter - Our APA Yearbook ad looks great. Discussion with www.BackyardChickens.com for advertising has begun.
