Want to raise chickens this year, but you're not sure where to start? You probably have a lot of questions like: Can I have them in the city? How do I make sure they are friendly? How do I keep them healthy and protect them from predators? Does it make economic sense?
This class is designed to answer all of your questions and get you on the road to chicken raising success.
In this course we will cover all of these topics and more! Plus a tour of my chicken setup.
Expect to learn all about chickens and the law, building or buying a coop, coop location and design, choosing a breed, chicken anatomy & how to handle a chicken, where to buy chicks, brooding chicks, chicken training, chicken feeding, chicken watering, protecting from predators, managing lice and mites, winter chicken care, all about eggs, chicken economics.
The class will be held at Sunny Joy Farm in South Ashland and will include a tour of my chicken setup. You will receive handouts with information you will need to get started with the joy of raising backyard chickens.
