The Farmstead Workshops: Home + Garden Edition Intro to Chicken Keeping
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
Workshop Schedule
The Farmstead Workshops are organized by focus and day:
– 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
The Chicken Keeping 101 workbook is available for purchase separately. It provides deeper guidance, seasonal inspiration, and reference notes to complement your workshop experience.
