Meet Me and The Chickens of TropicalChicki
Hello! I’m Jessica, a backyard chicken keeper living in Northern California. On my farm with my husband I have 21 super friendly chickens that are my inspiration for this site.
I found the love of chickens when I moved to Puerto Rico many years ago. I never would of guessed that the best thing about island life would be finding the love of chickens and sharing them with the world. Chickens have truly changed my life for the better and I hope that everyone one day will get to know the love of a chicken.
I believe chickens can be just as affectionate as our beloved cats and dogs. By sharing my experiences here and I hope to inspire others to feel confident about keeping chickens.
I hope to raise awareness about how intelligent chickens truly are and to contribute to improving their treatment. Chickens deserve higher ethical care standards, far beyond what they currently receive in factory farms. Every person who chooses to raise their own backyard chickens, providing eggs for themselves, their family, and friends, helps reduce the number of chickens subjected to these harsh conditions.
My Mission
I have two main goals when sharing my experiences and all I have learned from my chickens.
To help others feel confident about raising happy, healthy, and super friendly chickens so that they too, can know the love of a chicken.
To advocate for better treatment standards for both hens and roosters, contributing to meaningful change in how chickens are cared for.

Shimmer was such a sweet little lady. She loved hanging out with her besties Viper and Doughi. She would cuddle up with them on my lap for evening pets and she had the sweetest chatter. She will forever be missed.
