About Me

I started Holistic Hens to help you have the best possible backyard chicken experience with the healthiest, happiest chickens.

What Chicken Keepers Say

"Caring and Kind"

Tara knows her stuff.

She not only provides expert advice for raising chickens, she is a kind soul who takes the time to get to know her clients (human and chicken!) to provide guidance that is tailored to your unique situation.

"Confidence Boost"

A decade had passed since I had cared for chicks, so I had Tara out for a consultation regarding proper setup and care for the little ones. I felt much more confident after her visit and less anxious about their arrival.

"House Call"

Tara came out for a consultation after we lost several chickens to a raccoon. Having her look at the coop in person to suggest improvements was so worth it. We will be calling Tara the next time we need chicken advice.
