About US

Welcome to the flock.

Hi! We are the Combs family and friends; as a collective we are Chicken Tenders ATX.

Most of us have grown up with or near a farm, and as we’ve all grown with families of our own, our love for the farm life hasn’t faded. We now live in the city and we’re on a mission to help other city-dwellers compromise their city needs and foster the heart’s desire by keeping a small backyard brood.

 

Your chickens can be pets who help your children learn about the circle of life and develop an appreciation for our harmonious planet, or to give them an opportunity to get dirty and learn how to lovingly care for creatures who provide for us. No matter what your goal is for wanting a brood, we want to help others in their chicken-tending endeavors! It can be overwhelming planning for and implementing the entire process, which is why we want to help you build your own backyard brood!

Chelsea is extremely knowledgeable about chickens and chicken care. She has a very calming presence and can advise you on everything from chicken feed, to broody hens, to the best quality chicken coops. I wouldn’t let anyone else take care of our 7 chicken while we are on vacation. If you always wanted backyard chickens but weren’t sure how to begin, Chelsea is your person.

Featured Chicks
CHICKALETTA

Chickaletta

Chickaletta is our buff orpington. She runs and hides from hawks in an “everyone for themselves” manner.  We always know we can find her head down- butt up in a flower pot thinking to herself “if I can’t see it, it can’t see me”.

Chicken Tender ATX

Chicken Butt

Chicken Butt is our Americauna, at the top of the pecking order. She warns of hawks and is excellent at it! Recently, our dog pounced on her, possibly causing a stroke, but after extensive feeding, she’s back as the leader of the brood.

Chicken Tender ATX

Hei Hei

Hei Hei is a Red Star, is very intelligent (we can just tell) and acts most like a pet. She lays at our feet sometimes like a dog, “spread eagle” to soak up the sun.
