Have you been wandering around saying, “I should really get chickens”? Then this is your sign. Join us at Bronwyn’s backyard (our resident chicken whisperer and co-op superstar) for a beginner-friendly class all about building a basic coop, caring for your feathered friends, and embracing the chaos of backyard poultry. No experience needed, just a sense of humor and maybe a love of omelets.
This class will take place at Bronwyn’s back yard. You will receive an email the week before class with the address and parking instructions. We will supply sunscreen and bug spray. Please wear appropriate attire and footwear for an outside class.
