Hello dear chicken lover,
You have found the page for learning about natural, organic chicken farming in Dresden and the surrounding area. Our work focuses on providing advanced training to ecologically interested chicken keepers through lectures and seminars. Afterwards, the acquired knowledge about natural chicken farming can be tried out in your own garden. We also offer therapy chickens to senior living facilities and childcare facilities. An area of 2x3 m is the only requirement. This rare experience is sure to bring you much joy and will remain with you for a long time. If you want to hear a rooster crow, click here.

Sandra 6/2020:Dear Gefiederhof, There are some beautiful animals there. And I don't even want to call the lovingly designed little house a chicken coop. It brings back childhood memories and also memories of my dear grandparents... A COVID-19 vacation made it possible, who would have thought? Edwin got an outdoor perch, and otherwise everyone is doing well. No eggs today, but everyone is already in the house, even though Bianca gave me a fright. She was already sitting inside, on the barrier to lay her eggs. I hadn't seen her, though. I have so many photos now, I'll give you a photo folder. It's really nice with the animals!!!! Thank you for the experience!
Leubnitz Senior Residence 9/2021:
Some people put a lot of effort into their beloved poultry... Last year, we discovered an article online about renting chickens. Since we'd been toying with the idea of expanding our animal-assisted therapy offerings for a while, this opportunity struck us as a perfect opportunity to simply test whether we'd be suitable as chicken keepers. After the fence, coop, and interior were set up, the three ladies quickly felt at home and became increasingly trusting. Residents and family members quickly gathered, sitting on the benches around the enclosure to watch the chickens peck, scratch in the ground, or strutting around clucking. Some seniors were also reminded of times when they had chickens or other farm animals themselves and gave us some tips on how to handle the poultry. Much to the delight of our residents, they occasionally escaped over or under the fence – forcing nursing and caregivers to hunt them down for everyone's amusement. Ultimately, however, we were told by everyone that it was very relaxing to watch the chickens and listen to their quiet clucking. In any case, it was a wonderful experience that our seniors and their families will remember for a long time, and we can only recommend spending a few weeks with Susanne, Julia, and Lisa.

Dear Gefiederhof am Lucknerpark,
The "chicken campaign" will remain a fond memory for everyone in our home for a long time. Perhaps we'll repeat it next year... In retrospect, we found the timing very appropriate. The weather wasn't quite as nice, but the days were shorter, so the three hens voluntarily went into their house early in the evening. This would have been difficult for my colleagues and me on long summer days, as we don't work very late in the evenings. A fox had apparently smelled a good meal and crept through the grounds several times, so we checked daily to see if the flock was complete in the house, even despite the automatic locking system. The brown hen occasionally found ways through or flew over the fence. We had to catch her once – but she didn't go far from the enclosure. Many residents used to have chickens of their own and would watch or even feed the poultry from a bench set up by the enclosure. It was also nice to see how trusting the hens are and how they would immediately come running when people were in sight. Kind regards, C. K. - Occupational Therapist -
