Chickens can and will live a long, happy and productive life with proper care and nutrition. In this class, participants will learn the essentials of chicken health and how to make sure they get what they need. Included will be alternatives for feeding your hens that could keep down the feed bill.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Travis Robinson has kept chickens in his backyard for at least 10 years. He is interested in using chicken-keeping to increase access to food at a hyper-local level and in developing our “egg-shed” (not altogether different from a “watershed) to build a resilient community. He is also interested in how chickens can help build healthy soil and compost food waste. He consults with current and future chicken-keepers on best practices and presents at fairs and festivals whenever he has the opportunity. Passing along his chicken knowledge is a passion.
Tickets are $5 for owners and $7 for general admission and can be purchased here.
