The Farmstead Workshops: Home + Garden Edition Intro to Chicken Keeping

from $35.00

The Farmstead Workshops: Home + Garden Edition | Intro to Chicken Keeping | Thursday February 19 | 7PM

Discover the practical, approachable art of keeping backyard chickens in this one-hour, live virtual demonstration. This session focuses on foundational techniques for raising healthy chicks, preparing your brooder, and understanding seasonal timing for spring arrivals. You’ll gain clarity on how to care for your birds responsibly and sustainably, whether you’re starting your first flock or refreshing your routine.

What We’ll Demonstrate
During the live session, you’ll see key chick-raising practices from start to finish:

  • Selecting breeds, sourcing chicks, and timing arrivals for spring

  • Preparing a safe, comfortable brooder and coop setup

  • Feeding, watering, and maintaining clean, healthy conditions

  • Recognizing early signs of health issues and behavioral cues

These demonstrations emphasize process, rhythm, and decision-making, rather than rigid instructions.

Workshop Format

  • Demonstration-focused virtual workshop

  • Participants are welcome to follow along with planning and setup during class

  • Workshops are recorded for review

  • A 1–2 page PDF with reference notes, tips, and seasonal considerations will be emailed within 24 hours

  • Questions are welcomed throughout; for personalized guidance, 1:1 sessions are available separately

– Kitchen Edition workshops are held on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM (ET)
– Home + Garden Edition workshops are held on Thursdays at 7:00 PM (ET)

All workshops are one-hour, live virtual demonstrations.

Optional Companion Resource
