Farm fresh eggs from your own back yard?

YES!

 

Please join us for a workshop on best practices for Basic Backyard Chicken Care in Chicago.

 

Raising chickens as pets and for eggs is LEGAL in Chicago - and part of our growing local food and urban agriculture scene.

Learn from a backyard chicken expert and animal science instructor/veterinarian who will share their tips on how to keep both your chickens and your neighbors happy - from basic needs and year-round care to relevant city regulations.

 

You will leave the workshop with the knowledge, recommendations, and resources you need for your own home flock - and you'll make connections with other chicken enthusiasts in Chicago.

 

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. Limited space is available at the door. Please bring $30 registration fee (cash, check or credit card), and arrive by 9:45am. Thank you!
