Yes, you can have chickens in urban spaces! Learn about how to get started with city chickens, what care they need, and lots more. Did you know you can raise chickens in cities? You can! When you raise urban chickens, you can increase the health of your garden and produce even more of your own food. In this workshop, we'll walk you through the steps to setting up your flock, review different coop designs, and provide an overview of chicken husbandry so you can keep your birds healthy. You also get to meet our expert instructors' very own backyard chickens!
