Coops de Ville: How to Raise Backyard Chickens
Lifelong Learning

There is a world of difference between a farm-fresh, right-from-the-hen egg and those that come from the store. Sounds good, but where there are eggs, there are chickens; and where there are chickens, there is responsibility. In this class you'll find out how to do it right from start to finish. We'll cover preparation, breed selection, housing, food, and water, chickens and your garden, legalities and your neighborhood, hazards and health management, raising chicks, and collecting and storing eggs. We'll also review the age-old question: Which came first?
