I design luxury chicken coops that are almost like mini houses. In my first full year of business, I made over $630,000 in sales by tapping into a niche market — here's how.
Kathy Vegh Hughes is an entrepreneur and chicken-coop maker based in Ohio. in 2019.
I grew up speaking only Hungarian at home as a child, except for at bedtime. Each night in their thick Eastern European accents, my mother would recite a prayer and my father — who had fled Budapest for the US after the Hungarian revolution and met and married my mother during a trip back home in 1967 — would sing"You Are My Sunshine" and"God Bless America" as I drifted off to sleep.
There was this unspoken pressure to show my parents it had been worth it to come to this country in search of a better life.As a kid, I worked hard in school and was always looking for ways to earn my own money. By nine, I was selling my uneaten Halloween candy to the neighborhood kids and by 16, I worked part-time at The Gap.
Despite never having been around chickens, I often told my husband Anthony that I wanted a few as pets. Five years ago, he surprised me over the holidays and bought me a chicken coop. It was from an e-commerce retailer and turned out to be one of those purchases that look better online. In person, it was not the best quality and was cumbersome to use.
