Fresh eggs and garden pest control in one!

Barbara Stumbles – Registered and Homeopathic Vet, Urban Chook Enthusiast

The sound of chickens in the backyard was commonplace up until the 50s and 60s.

Chickens are a valuable addition to a productive backyard - they can still be kept in the suburbs but there are a few council by-laws you will need to know.

Barbara will discuss what a chicken needs to be happy and healthy from housing and shelter to diet.

This workshop will cover:

How to keep chickens (the essentials)
Dietary needs at different ages
Keeping chooks healthy, naturally
Preventative health
Recommendations for supplements and fresh food options
Guidelines for coops and housing
Hygiene
Safety
Compliance with Council Regulations
Management systems
Diseases and health issues
Breeds (heavy and light)
