Who's in the Henhouse - Raising Chickens: an introductory slideshow and discussion on what you need to know to get started with your own backyard flock of laying hens. Sign up through Dover Sherborn Community Education.
I'll be at the Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary for a program based on my book, The Farmstead Egg Guide and Cookbook. I'll go over the pros and cons of backyard chicken keeping, and then talk about what makes a good egg, good. There will be samples of good eggs to taste!
A hen and I will be teaching all of the second graders about chickens, how eggs are made, and the science of chicken poop!

Once a year the Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts hosts a speaker's day so that the clubs can select presenters for their programming. I have a talk, Backyard Chicken Keeping for Gardeners that I'm hoping some clubs will want to host. I think i'll be the only speaker there with a chicken!
