You're asking, and we're answering all your questions about chickens in a brand new Chickens 101 class. The session is designed for backyard chicken farmers, and those who would like to be. We'll talk about everything chicken:
Puchasing chickens - The best places to buy. What sort of vaccinations are necessary. What breeds are the best.
Setting up a chicken environment - Coops, yards, and equipment. Keeping chickens safe.
Feeding and watering chickens - What to look for in a feed. The difference between kinds of feed. The best kind of waterers.
Eggs - How to get the best yield. How to address problems.
Chicken Health - Keeping healthy chickens. Common chicken illnesses and their treatments.
The class is informal, and will last about one hour.
We're holding two sessions:
July 10 - Graham Public Library at 6:00 pm
August 15 - Mebane Public Library at 6:00 pm
The class is free, and registration is not necessary. Come and bring a friend!
