chicken keeping 101

instructor: rachel bess

There is a back to the land movement and it’s happing in backyards and on small parcels of land across the planet. By employing chickens’ skill sets, and permaculture design principles in kitchen and production gardens you can grow and produce much of your own vegetables, eggs and meat if you wish. 

Chickens make great pets, efficient bug- and weed-eaters and excellent soil tillers, not to mention all the fresh eggs! Learn everything about how to raise chickens in your backyard.

about the instructor:                                Local artist and urban-chicken expert Rachel Bess, author of Fowl Play: Your Guide to Keeping Chickens in the City, will tell you everything you need to know about raising chickens, from taking care of the chicks to adhering to city ordinances.
