Backyard Chickens Workshop Update


Backyard Chicken Workshop a Success!
by Sharon Gaughan, PCLF Education Program Director

Saturday’s Backyard Chicken workshop turned out well!  We had nine very enthusiastic participants – all of them full of questions and comments, and stories to share!

I would love to be able to provide a photo or two of the workshop in action, but I was so involved in the teaching that I forgot to take any photos – even though my camera was ready and close at hand!


But I can share a few of the comments from the participant evaluations:

“Great information.  Exactly what I was looking for.”

“I came to be introduced to chickens and how to raise my own.  I am walking away with a new found respect and great info to raise my own with confidence.”

“Great fun!  Loved interacting with the chickens – and the other like-minded classmates, of course.”

“Abundant amount of information – especially for novice chicken enthusiast!”

“Lots of fun – good mix of inside and outside learning.”

“Chickens are fun!”


Chickens are fun...  So true!  So very, very true!
