Workshop Details
Keeping urban chickens for beginners
Chickens are great pets, with extra benefits: they provide eggs, produce fertiliser, control insects and weeds, and eat kitchen scraps. In this workshop we’ll talk about chicken keeping basics, and answer questions. We’ll cover housing, feeding, chicken health, different breeds, local rules and regulations - and how to get started with your own small flock.
