Workshop: Learn to Raise Your Own Chickens

If your family has been playing with the idea of raising your own chickens and having fresh eggs in the morning, then this is the workshop for you. "Papa John" (John Kiefer) who has been raising chickens for 40+ years in Lafayette is offering a 2 hr workshop on Feb 7th where you can learn everything you need to know. Spring is the best time to acquire new chicks, so this workshop is timed to give you a month or two to build or order a coop prior to spring. This workshop is so popular that John has already filled up two sessions for late January. View the flyer or email John to reserve a spot.
