Chicken Keeping 101 Workshop
Chickens are the gateway livestock. They're forgiving, funny, and they give you eggs. This 2-hour class is a complete primer on starting your own backyard flock — whether you have half an acre or a small suburban yard.
We'll cover coop and run design, what and how to feed, flock health basics, and how to handle and collect eggs. You'll meet our hens and spend time with the birds throughout — this is hands-on, not just a slideshow. We've started numerous backyard flocks through this workshop. The most common feedback we hear afterward: "I wish I'd done this sooner."
