Annapolis event to give inside scoop on the coop

As more people become interested in sustainable living, home chicken ownership is growing in popularity, and an Annapolis area workshop will introduce the practice to those who would like to find out more.

Homestead Gardens recently announced that its annual spring chicks will soon be arriving, and to help get ready, it has planned a session of its Chick Talk 101. It will be an introduction to the art and science of raising chickens at home, taking place in the main hatching season.

The lecture-style activity will cover a variety of aspects of chicken care, and it may be helpful to anyone trying to decide if it is a good fit for them. The facilitator will provide an overview of the topic, touching on a variety of subject areas, and the audience will be invited to ask questions. The hour-long session is on offer free of charge.

Even in an urban setting, there can be ways to live and eat more sustainably, and workshops can provide further information. Information packages prepared by a brochure printing company can help to provide detailed information to anyone who may be interested.

This chance to get the lowdown on keeping chicks will be on offer on Saturday, February 24. It will begin at 1:00 pm at 743 West Central Avenue in Davidsonville.
