BACKYARD CHICKENS

Visit a magnificent organic garden and chicken coop and learn everything you need to raise happy hens: hen house and yard set-up, nesting boxes, water, feed, local suppliers, caring for your chicks and hens, and favorite crops to grow for them. You will see how easy it is to raise chickens and how great a role they play in creating a healthy organic vegetable garden. We give them food scraps and garden greens – they give us eggs and fertilizer! Chickens are wonderful pets that participate and contribute to the whole. Meet at Common Ground then carpool to Jody's garden in Woodside. Jody has raised backyard chickens in her organic vegetable and herb gardens for many years, and offers backyard chicken and organic garden consultations.
