Keeping Backyard Chickens

Chickens are great pets, with extra benefits: they provide eggs, produce fertiliser, control insects and weeds, and eat kitchen scraps.

In this workshops we'll talk about chicken keeping basics, and answer questions. We'll cover housing, feeding, chicken health, different breeds - and how to get started with your own small flock. 

Lindsay Miles is an educator, speaker, author and passionate sustainable living advocate helping others live more meaningful lives with less waste, less plastic and less stuff. She has been sharing ideas, tips, tricks and strategies on her website Treading My Own Path since 2013. She dreamed about keeping chickens for twenty years before she finally adopted her first flock in 2020. Since then her chicken obsession (and flock size) has grown considerably.
