Join us tonight for a Backyard Chicken class at 6:00 with Egg|Plant during
the Tiny Diner Farmers' Market.
Bob and Audrey of Egg|Plant have kept chickens in their St. Paul backyard
for ten years. They started their chicken adventures raising chicks for the
Student Organic Farm at the University of Minnesota, and have experienced
both the joys and troubles of keeping chickens in the city.
They'll be having a conversation starting at 6:00 pm tonight, addressing
all of your backyard chicken questions, covering aspects of backyard flock
management in an urban setting: getting permits, choosing suitable
varieties, raising chicks, coop and run requirements, feed and nutrition,
common health issues, predators, cold-climate care, chickens in the garden,
composting chicken waste, etc. There will be hands-on time with our guest
chicken (chicken willing).
