Tilth Alliance Class: All About Chickens – Feb 23

Interested in tending a flock of your own? Imagine fresh eggs daily from your own backyard, a coop enlivening your landscape and chickens providing endless entertainment. Experience the wonders of caring for a flock in a limited space and decide if chickens are right for you.

In this class, we will discuss:

• Choosing breeds
• Starting with chicks
• Caring for adult birds: what to feed them and how to keep them safe and healthy
• Coop requirements and other necessary supplies
• Managing your flock and ongoing maintenance

Go home equipped with the basic information you need to decide if keeping chickens is right for you and ready to get started.

This three hour class will be a combination of show-and-tell, lecture and a tour of a chicken coop. Please dress for the weather.

Tilth Alliance strives to educate everyone, regardless of their financial means. All classes include a limited number of reduced price tickets for those with financial need.
