Chicks in the City, Hens in the Hood

Want to keep Chickens? Join Master Gardener Candice McLaren and learn about the joys of keeping chickens without annoying your neighbors. Do you know what the best breed is for you and your family?

Do you want large or small birds, white, brown or blue/green eggs, fancy feathered birds, full grown hens or baby chicks, or possibly rescue birds from Animal Services? Do you want some ideas about how to design and place a chicken coop?

Before you bring those baby chicks home you’ll want to know how to prepare their first home, how to keep chicks warm, what to feed them, and how to make their transition from a warm house (yours!) to their new chicken coop outside.
