Kakelend Kippenmuseum

The Kakelend Kippenmuseum is a petting zoo in Keiem where visitors interact directly with various chicken breeds and other farm animals. The grounds include walking paths, a play barn, and areas for exploring agricultural work and animal care.

The site developed from a traditional Belgian farm into a place where people can learn about agricultural practices and animal care. This transformation reflects how communities adapted to help people connect with farming in modern times.

The place showcases chicken breeds that are part of Belgian farming traditions, making visible how these animals fit into rural life. Visitors experience daily farm routines by feeding and watching the birds go about their activities.

Plan to visit during daytime hours and wear suitable clothing since you will be walking outdoors and interacting with animals. Bring water with you and be ready to actively participate on the farm rather than just watching from a distance.

The museum focuses specifically on different chicken breeds, a specialized focus that sets it apart from typical farm zoos. This concentration on poultry makes it an unexpected destination for those curious about the variety within these common farm birds.
