This presentation by long-time chicken-keeper Bob Davis will confirm that keeping backyard chickens is both desirable and attainable. Chickens produce eggs, make wonderful pets, and provide an earth connection for their humans. Details of their care will be covered, including sources of birds, housing, feeding, and health.
Bob will present the 'Chicken Keeping 101' talk on two separate dates and times. It is the same talk each time, so you need only attend one. The talk lasts about 1.5 hours, depending on questions, with time for further questions at the end, so you might want to allow about two hours. Please try to arrive a little early, so that the class can start on time.
Free parking is available in the Brooks Lot on the corner of Brooks and Hillsborough. Kilgore Hall is directly across Hillsborough Street from the parking lot (bamboo structures in front). Room 159 is located in the center of the building on the first floor.
This looks wonderful. We can't wait to attend. I was just wanting to know if this was a kid friendly event? We would love to bring our kids but if it is not such an event we can plan ahead for childcare. Thanks for putting this together for our community to share and learn.

From Bob Davis: We ask all attendees to pay, some folks bring kids, particularly school age, others don't. Kids are welcome, but it is a lecture format in a large classroom. I think it's an individual choice/decision.
