There’s a lot to like about raising chickens in your backyard.The eggs are a real temptation—tastier and fresher than any store-bought eggs! The shells, along with the chicken poop, can be tossed right into the compost pile for a rich garden amendment. Chickens are entertaining and make great companions, too!
Join Beaver Brook’s Homestead Manager and educator, Ali Farquhar, and her flock in this 2-hour workshop at the Beaver Brook Homestead. Ali has 20 years of experience raising, breeding, and showing (yes, really!) the world’s most common and misunderstood bird. This hands-on class will cover the following topics:
Choosing the right chicken breed for you
-Housing options
-Raising baby chicks
-Keeping chickens healthy
-Collecting, cleaning, and storing eggs
-Gardening with chickens
-Wintering chickens
Come prepared to handle chickens and bring all your questions!
