City Chicks - Gardening With
and For Chickens
In collaboration with
Transition Laguna Beach
we are helping host
this TalkShop with
Patricia Foreman
author of City Chicks.
Chickens
have
skill sets that can be gainfully employed in backyard gardens.
This interactive discussion will give you practical and effective
cutting-edge ways to integrate chickens in with your yard and garden.
Topics include types of fencing (what works and what doesn't), when to
let birds in and when to keep them out of specific crops life cycles,
bird-scaping, and, best of all, getting wholesome, home-grown food for
both you, and your flock. This is truly be a "Think Outside the Coop"
workshop.
