Chicken Keeping Basics

Swallowdale Farm, 10834 Handcock Rd, Centerville, NY

Shari


Thinking of raising chickens but not sure where to begin? In this workshop we’ll cover raising chicks, keeping your flock safe from predators, setting up a coop and run, chicken health and well-being, and common challenges. This workshop will offer an overview of the basics intended for the “chicken curious” and beginners. I will focus on keeping chickens as homestead or livestock animals, not as pets.
