380 Coop is a small family chicken operation based in South San Francisco, near Freeway 380. We raise healthy birds, share practical guidance for first-time keepers, and offer local pickup for nearby families.
Current Availability
How We Raise
Our chickens free-range in safe outdoor space and enjoy the Bay Area weather. Their diet includes commercial feed, treats, green vegetation, and high-protein kitchen extras.
Our automated coop opens at dawn and closes at night to provide shelter and nesting space. Many hens are naturally broody and raise chicks themselves. We keep brooding mothers and chicks in safer separate spaces until they are ready to join the main flock.
We also occasionally rescue local chickens. Because our flock includes mixed lines from local and online sources, no two birds look exactly alike. In general, they are sweet, attractive, and dependable layers.
We use incubators and heaters when needed, but many chicks are naturally raised by hens from hatch day.
Breed Mix
What We Commonly Raise
Our flock includes standard-sized birds such as Rhode Island Red, Ameraucana, and French Copper Marans, along with bantam-sized birds such as Silkies.
We also keep mixed lines selected for temperament, appearance, broodiness, and egg production.
First-Time Keeper Notes
Practical reminders for families starting a backyard flock in the Bay Area.
Keep a small flock
Chickens are social, so it is better to keep more than one. Young chickens can also huddle together on cold nights to stay warm.
Plan for predators
Cats, falcons, and opossums are common local concerns. All chickens need predator-proof shelter at night, and small young birds can be vulnerable during the day too.
Show them where to sleep
Young chickens may need help learning where the safe sleeping spaces are, especially when they are first moved into a new setup.
Offer varied food
Chickens can eat many foods, including leafy greens, grains, cereals, pasta, and banana peels. Avoid onions, garlic, lemons, and other foods high in sulfur or acid.
Make daily care simple
With enough food, clean water, and secure shelter, chickens are generally easy to care for. Automatic feeders, waterers, and coop doors can help with daily management.
Watch ponds and water
If chickens can access ponds, make sure they cannot drown. Frightened chickens do not see well at night and may not be able to get out of water safely.
Backyard Chicken Benefits
A small flock can be practical, productive, and enjoyable.
