Chix in the City, Hens in the Hood

Come learn about the joys of keeping chickens without annoying your neighbors in this workshop led by UC Master Gardener Candice McLaren. Find out what the best breed is for you and your family, the beautiful options there are for your birds and eggs, and if raising chicks or rescuing from Animal Services is right for you. Youll also get great ideas about how to design and place a chicken coop and how to transition baby chicks to the coop. Following the workshop, take an optional stroll up to the UCSC Farm to visit the chickens in the Life Lab garden.

Cost of the workshop is $30 general admission (pre-registered) or $40 (at the door); $20 for Friends of the Farm & Garden members and current members of the Monterey Bay UC Master Gardeners (pre-registered) or $30 (at the door); $15 for beginning farmers and limited-income (pre-registered) or $20 (at the door). $5 for UCSC students.
