COOP Backyard Chickens 101 Course Description
Who says you can't raise chickens in your own backyard? In many suburban townships, including Cheltenham and others nearby, it's legal and fun. Whether your interest is in locally grown, organic eggs or poultry or sharing an experience with your children, a small flock of chickens may be just what you're looking for. Leam about the benefits of backyard chickens, buying and caring for day-old chicks, building a Coop, managing hens, collecting eggs (and the truth about roosters!) from a keeper of hens and chicks in her own backyard.
