BACKYARD CHICKENS • Backyards have gone to the birds! Everyone from A-list celebs (looking at you, Jennifer Garner and Lady Gaga) to city slickers has taken to raising hens in the name of having farm-fresh eggs at the ready. If you’ve been thinking about joining the chicken-keeping contingency, there’s no need to wing it. Here, a panel of grade A poultry experts (see their cred on page 47) answers your most pressing inquiries, from time commitment and costs to, yes, even how to get those pretty blue eggs.

What does a day in the life of chicken care really look like?

I’VE PINNED APPROXIMATELY 225 CUTE COOPS! • But what exactly does mine need to function properly? (Besides a copper cupola, obviously.)

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALL THOSE BREEDS? • From egg production (spoiler alert: No chicken lays eggs every day) to regal plumage, these nine are among the most prized varieties of backyard hens. Can’t make up your mind? Mixing different breeds in a single coop is no problem at all. In fact, like a well-appointed room, a “curated flock” is all the more alluring.

Feather Your Nest • From coop to countertop, these fun finds will feed your “chicken lady” aspirations.

Meet the “Eggsperts”

WHEN EVERYTHING’S SMALLER IN TEXAS • Don’t let the size fool you: Even though every room is less than 200 square feet, this tiny Texas farmhouse is packed with pattern and patina. Here’s how it lives large.

BOLD Fashioned • An unapologetically more-is-more aesthetic—“granny chic”—is in full chintzy bloom with a new group of tastemakers craving club chair comfort over clean lines. Here’s how to embrace the excess.

OPEN-MIINDED • Veteran magazine stylist Matthew Gleason shares his playbook for making the petite (just 1,300 square feet!) feel palatial—without knocking down a single wall.

Farmhouse Kitchen • Fresh-picked finds and family-friendly fare for your home’s unofficial hub

DESSERTS • From a lemony layer cake to berry galettes, these new spring classics will give that ol’ chocolate bunny a run for his money.
