Raising chicks can be greatly rewarding if you are prepared for the task. This class will cover all the essential details if you are considering starting a flock or adding to an existing flock with chicks including; purchasing considerations, breed choices, necessary equipment needs, and techniques for proper handling and care.
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.
