Event
Chicken Care for Beginners
This class will take place at Dutton Farm, where participants can see how chickens and ducks are integrated into their small farm system. We will be joined by farm owner Mickie Dutton and local heritage breed chicken breeder Lisa Van Horn, who has a vast amount of knowledge and experience when it comes to raising poultry. In this class participants will learn the basics of keeping chickens or other poultry and what they can do to keep their flock happy, healthy, and safe.
This class is a part of a new series called Living on the Land, a program by WSU Regional Small Farms for Kitsap, Jefferson, and Clallam counties. Living on the Land is for homesteaders, backyard growers, and anyone interested in connecting with their local food systems. Classes will take place online, where people can access them from the comfort of their home, and in-person, at local farms and homesteads for hands-on, interactive learning. Topics in 2025 will cover chicken and poultry care, raising and breeding small ruminants, seed-saving, food preservation, and composting.
Living on the Land classes will take place throughout the year and participants can attend one class or all. Online classes have unlimited registration. In-person class size is limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Tickets are available to reserve approximately one month before the class. The classes are free and open to the public.
