So I really appreciate your setting up that way. Again, thank you… Loved every minute and all the speakers you chose were fantastic! I just can’t tell you enough what an awesome job you did presenting this. I feel much more confident in caring for my girls!" - Jennifer M., Summit Attendee
Raising a healthy flock takes a whole lot more than throwing out feed and calling it a day.
You work hard to care for your chickens and to make sure they're happy and healthy:
You’re locking your chickens up at night to protect them from predators.
Giving them the right feed (you think!)
Doling out treats and love so your chickens feel pampered (we all do it!)
But do you ever start to wonder if there's more
you should be doing?
Maybe you've learned the hard way...
It's so easy to make mistakes with chickens...and those mistakes could cost you tons of money, or the health of your birds, if you're not careful.
Maybe right now you….
- Are wondering if the food you're giving your chickens are really keeping them healthy.
- Want to cut down the costs of raising chickens, but aren't sure how to do that without sacrificing their well being.
- Are doing your best to keep your chickens healthy, but don't know what to do if they got sick or injured.
- Have some chickens with bad habits, like bullying and egg eating, but no idea how to stop those behaviors.
- Want to learn how to better manage your coop so it always smells fresh and clean.
Learn how to raise a vibrantly healthy flock at the Backyard Chicken Summit
There is a way to raise a healthy flock that’s doable with your hectic schedule, and actually works.
How would it feel to….
- Get tons of fresh eggs everyday so you don't have to stress about rising food prices.
- Feel confident in knowing how to diagnose and treat common chicken illnesses.
- Know exactly how to ferment feed to give your flock a huge nutritional boost.
- Learn everything you need to know about chicken nutrition.
- Understand the ins and outs of raising chickens, like knowing which fencing is best and what sized coop is perfect for your flock.
This is exactly what you’ll experience at the Backyard Chickens Summit!
Meet Your Conference Host...
Hi! I'm your host, Heather Levin!
I'm a homesteader, herbalist, and a Chicken Mama to 30+ chickens. I'm also the founder of Chicken Health Academy, a pioneering online academy that teaches natural and emergency care techniques to backyard chicken keepers.
As a long-time chicken-keeper, I've spent years learning how to raise healthy flocks as naturally as possible. And I'm so excited to share what I know with you!
Grab your ticket and join me and 22 other backyard chicken experts for a one-of-a-kind event that will help you raise your healthiest flock ever - and save money while doing it. I can’t wait to see you there!
"WOW ! Speaking of patting yourself on the back...girl, you knocked this event outa the park. Thank you for choosing to address heat challenges and mites. My take away from this summit is validation. With less than a year under my belt as a chicken mama, I am more prepared than I thought to deal with chicken issues. The panic and patience is what I must work on. At least I now have resources to go to if I have an issue. That is truly awesome. " - Alison S., Summit Attendee and Chicken Health Academy Student

"I have downloaded the bonuses. Watched a few of the presentations. Glad I got the Toolkit so I can rewatch the presentations. I haven't gotten my chickens yet. Coop is being built later this month, then getting 3 Pullets in August. Being in Florida, it makes me nervous with our warm/humid weather, but the Summit has provided some great solutions I will be implementing for my flock. Thanks for putting the Summit together!" - Nate, Summit Attendee
The World's First Virtual Summit Just for Backyard Chicken Keepers
As a backyard chicken keeper, you don’t need a summit teaching you how to manage flocks of 1,000+ birds, biosecurity techniques for large-scale operations, or breeding strategies for dozens of breeds.
But, it can be tough to sort through all the information out there and find what's actually relevant for you.
The Backyard Chickens Summit was specifically created for small flock chicken keepers just like you.
- You're managing a small flock you love...right in your backyard.
- You're raising your very first backyard flock and want to get it right from the start.
- You're an experienced chicken keeper looking to expand your skills.
- You're thinking of getting chickens, and want to learn what you need before you make the investment.
Instead of covering digital pathogen monitoring, poultry farm automations, or AI-powered environmental controls, this summit will give you actionable steps to help you raise vibrantly healthy birds...right in your backyard.
"Congratulations on an outstanding conference. I’m a pre-newbie but have a career in the zoological field. You put a great group together with balanced presentations. You have already given me a wealth of knowledge and multiple options of quality folks to continue learning from. Thank you so much for that!" - Slyvia R., Summit Attendee

We would love for you to set aside some time during the summit week to attend the live sessions, watch the pre-recorded presentations, and participate with others who are making a commitment to learning the ins and outs of raising a backyard flock.
However, if you’re not able to attend all of the sessions live, go ahead and grab your free ticket, and you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade to the Backyard Chicken Keepers Toolkit for extended access.

Yep, you read that right. Free.
HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER THE BACKYARD CHICKEN SUMMIT IS RIGHT FOR ME?
If you’re curious about raising backyard chickens, this event is for you!

ARE THE PRESENTATIONS LIVE?
To avoid tech glitches, give you the best possible experience, and keep things easy for the speakers, the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released at a scheduled time during the summit.
However, the speakers will be hanging out in our private Facebook group with dedicated threads where you can connect with them and ask your questions! We'll also have some live Q&A sessions and demonstrations during the summit.
There will also be opportunities to join us for bonus live events throughout the week.
WILL THE SPEAKERS GET MY EMAIL ADDRESS?
No. When you register, you’ll be added to the the Chicken Health Academy email list so we can send you updates for the event and links to each day’s presentations.
After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from Heather Levin at Chicken Health Academy, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
Each of the speakers will have free resources available that you can access by providing an email address, but the speakers will not get your email address unless you choose to give it to them specifically. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don't have to worry about getting added to a dozen email lists that you're not interested in.
