March 16th Open House
That Spring
Chicken Thing
March Open House Features "Ethics: The Basics of Raising
Chickens Workshop"
It's almost springtime, when chicks will arrive here and in many first-time
chicken owner families throughout the country. Join us for and discover why keeping chickens is becoming so popular.
In the morning, we will take a walking tour of Stelle and show you some of the neighborhood's examples of
sustainable living-our wind turbine, rain gardens, and more. After lunch, CSC member and
permaculturalist Ernest Rando (pictured above) will present strategies for raising chickens ethically in both urban and suburban environments. We will spend time handling 50 broiler chicks that we will raise in our orchard and three hens that live in a soon to be hopefully regenerative backyard paddock system. If you are considering keeping chickens for the first time, this
workshop is for you!
