The Seattle Farm Co-operative presents…
CONSIDERING CHICKENS?
Learn now while you have the time to get your coop ready for cute chicks in the spring.
How much work is it really to have backyard fresh healthy eggs? Whether to design and build your own coop? What about the poop?
Do you learn best outside of a classroom and by seeing, experiencing and asking questions?
Get answers to all of that and more. See a couple of different chicken coops in action – one fancy green-built ‘Coop Mahal’ and one simple that cost almost nothing to build.
You will see and learn:
~Choices of coop features and systems that will keep your chickens safe and happy
~Design features to reduce coop maintenance
~How to easily turn poop from a smelly problem into a valuable product
~See how chickens really behave, by watching them interact with their environment
~Successfully incorporate chickens with your garden to benefit both
~Simple equipment that has successfully raised many day-old chicks
~Available local resources of information and supplies
Next class: Saturday, October 25, 2009, 10AM-12 noon. Info: Ingela (206)789-5810 or LLB@consultant.com
The Seattle Farm Co-op shares info and resources on growing food in the city. We buy bulk organic chicken and goat feed, hold classes and harvest exchanges.
These classes are more like interactive and experiential workshops than just listening to a lecture type of class. Classes are held on-site at real city farms so you learn more and differently than in a classroom.
Our Seattle Farm Co-op has neighborhood “Clutches” which get together to share and learn. There are chicken classes for prospective chicken owners, and current chicken keepers wanting to learn more about specific topics whether you have chickens for eggs or meat.
I’ve been madly catching up with your blog from the last few weeks. My computer’s been acting sick so I pretty much get on to do what I have to do and then get off. But I also realized, your blog is no longer updating on my igoogle or on my blogspot dashboard. Any thoughts? Should I become a follower again? Hope you are well!

Hi Sara, not sure why that is happening. Does your google screen look normal otherwise? I don’t think I’ve changed anything…have you been updating your blog? Because yours hasn’t changed on my screen since the “we’re back” post. How are you feeling?
xo,
Annette
