Chickens in Your Backyard?


Tuesday, May 14, 2013
(6:30 – 7:30 PM)
Rhythmix Cultural Works
2513 Blanding Avenue, Alameda

According to Alameda Backyard Chickens, Alameda is home to at least 350 backyard chickens. Yesterday’s Backyard Chicken Coop Bicycle Tour let us peek into the homes of just a few.  Should you join the chicken coop craze?

Jill Saxty will present on the fun and the challenge of backyard chickens:  how to get started, how to keep your flock happy and healthy, how many eggs you can expect, what the challenges are, and what chickens are like to keep as pets.  Jill has kept chickens for about seven years, and presently has a flock of four.  If we’re lucky, Jill will bring one of her flock for us to meet up close and personal!  Bring your questions!
