By admin · Raise a healthy, productive backyard flock: choose the right chickens, build a secure coop, feed them properly, and keep hens laying healthy eggs through every season.
About this course
Backyard chickens are rewarding, productive, and increasingly popular, but a happy, healthy flock is built on planning, not on luck. This classroom covers everything you need to raise chickens well: choosing the right breeds and starting with chicks or adult birds, building or buying a coop and run that is secure, spacious, and easy to clean, feeding a balanced diet with the right protein and calcium, and managing hens for steady egg production through the seasons. You will also learn the daily health checks, predator protection, and problem-solving that separate thriving flocks from struggling ones.
