Our Commitment to You
Backyard Chicken Planner exists to help backyard chicken keepers make informed decisions. While some pages may include affiliate links to products and equipment, our primary goal is to provide accurate information, practical planning tools, and useful educational resources.
We believe that trust is earned. Any commissions we receive help support the continued development of free calculators, comparison guides, and educational content that everyone can use.
Whether you purchase through one of our affiliate links or not, our mission remains the same: to provide practical information that helps you build a healthy, successful backyard flock.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some links on Backyard Chicken Planner may be affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer.
There is no additional cost to you. In most cases, the price you pay is exactly the same whether you use one of our affiliate links or go directly to the retailer.
Affiliate commissions help offset the costs of operating this website, allowing us to continue creating free calculators, comparison guides, and planning resources.
How We Choose Products
Our goal is not to recommend the most expensive product or the product that pays the highest commission.
Instead, we look for products that provide genuine value to backyard chicken keepers based on factors such as:
- Overall quality and durability
- Ease of use
- Value for the price
- Suitability for beginners
- Practical features
- Customer reputation and long-term reliability
Whenever possible, we will explain why a particular product is recommended so readers can make informed decisions based on their own needs.
We Do Not Sell Placement
Backyard Chicken Planner does not recommend products simply because a company pays for placement or offers a higher commission.
If a product is mentioned, compared, or recommended, our goal is to explain why it may be useful for backyard chicken keepers. We may earn a commission from some links, but that does not control the educational purpose of the content.
Product Reviews and Recommendations
As the website grows, we may publish product guides, equipment comparisons, and recommended supply lists for items such as feeders, waterers, coop accessories, fencing, bedding, and chicken care products.
These recommendations may include affiliate links when appropriate. We will try to explain the strengths, weaknesses, and best use cases for products so readers can choose what fits their own flock, budget, and setup.
Examples of Affiliate Products
Future affiliate links may include products such as:
- Chicken feeders
- Chicken waterers
- Coop supplies
- Brooder equipment
- Predator protection products
- Egg collection supplies
- Chicken first-aid supplies
- Seasonal flock care products
Not every product link on this site is necessarily an affiliate link, but affiliate links will be disclosed where appropriate.
Your Choice
You are never required to use our affiliate links. You can always search for products directly, compare prices, read reviews, and purchase from the retailer of your choice.
Our goal is to help you make a better decision, not pressure you into buying something you do not need.
⭐ Our Promise to Readers
Every recommendation on Backyard Chicken Planner is made with one goal in mind: helping backyard chicken keepers make informed decisions.
If we believe a less expensive product is the better choice, that's what we'll recommend. If we think a product isn't worth buying, we'll say so. Our goal is to build long-term trust by providing honest, practical information rather than simply encouraging purchases.
We believe that earning a reader's trust is far more valuable than earning a single commission.
📋 Affiliate Programs
Backyard Chicken Planner may participate in a variety of affiliate programs as the website grows. These programs are designed to allow websites like ours to earn a small commission when readers purchase products through qualifying links.
Participation in an affiliate program does not influence our opinions, rankings, or recommendations. We strive to recommend products based on quality, usefulness, value, and their suitability for backyard chicken keepers.
