21 Acres: Joy of Chickens

Interested in Raising Chickens? Chickens are a fantastic addition to your residential landscape!  They offer fresh eggs, lots of laughs and a constant supply of compost.   Our class will teach you the ins and outs of basic coop design, breed selection, raising chicks to chickens, and so much more! And, we will explore the coop on site and get to know 8 lovely birds..The class will go outside to visit the chickens and use for the class discussion. Dress appropriately for the weather conditions.
