Our Story

We feel blessed to have embarked on this long-term journey with our funny flock. Looking back at life, how did we ever do without these feathered creatures that are full of personality and their daily gift of fresh eggs?! Our journey wasn’t always easy and it’s still a learning process. With “chicken math”, our flock grew, and so did our desire to find specific breeds and bloodlines to improve our birds. Finding this wasn’t always easy. Even finding chicken coops that matched our needs wasn’t easy. And ironically, there were many times what we were looking for was right in front of our faces. We were determined to find a better way to connect the dots. 

Using our technology background, we created a system that will hopefully bridge some of these gaps. The kick-start of the system is to bring all chicken enthusiasts to one centralized search. Every month, we aggressively aim to add new features, increase members and open up more MARKETPLACES/M.A.D Circles!

Having a community together in a place where we’re open to speak and where technology can be harnessed to simplify your life is exciting for us.

All of us can agree, there’s room for changes in the Poultry Industry. Those changes can happen faster with our community connected. We realize that there is truly a madness that takes over all of us. Sometimes what we do seems MAD (crazy), but in our organization, we also truly vow to be - MAD - Making A Difference. And we are passionate about sharing others who are doing the same and more with poultry! We love sharing their stories

Join us in our quest and our adventures! Hope you’ll find some amazing connections, the best new friends for your flock, and more!

Yours truly — The MadHatchers Team
