🍁 Fall Chicken Care Guide: Keep Your Flock Cozy, Healthy, and Happy This Autum

Fall is in the air — and your chickens feel it too! 🍂 As the days grow shorter and the air gets crisp, it’s the perfect time to prep your flock for cooler weather. Whether you’re a seasoned chicken keeper or brand new to backyard farming, these smart, simple tips will keep your hens cozy, healthy, and thriving all season long.

🍂 Keep the Run Clean with the All-Weather Tarp

Your Smart Coop is already the warmest, safest home on the block — but their outdoor run deserves some attention too. Fall weather brings unpredictable wind, rain, and piles of leaves that love to gather underfoot. The All-Weather Tarp is your secret weapon for keeping things tidy and dry.

  • Blocks wind and rain during unpredictable fall weather
  • Prevents leaf buildup that can trap moisture and bacteria
  • Reduces mud and helps maintain a clean, comfortable run

Bonus: It saves you from endless raking and leaf cleanup. Your flock (and your rake) will thank you. 🧹
