Getting Started with Chickens

March 4, 2021

Getting Started with Chickens

Are you new to raising chickens? Learn how to select, house, and care for small flocks of chickens. In this class, you will get an overview of how to navigate your town's rules and regulations for backyard chicken flocks, how to get started with egg layers or broilers (meat birds), and how to choose the bird that is right for you. We will also cover portable chicken coops and protecting your birds from weather and predators. Whether you're interested in raising a few chickens in your backyard or starting your own chicken-based enterprise, this class will cover it all. 


Registration closes on March 2.
