Learn How to Raise Backyard Chickens

Keeping chickens and producing your own eggs in suburban and urban settings is therapeutic and has become quite popular. Ashley Stonecipher, an agent with the UF/IFAS Extension Volusia County, will discuss chicken breeds, proper housing, general health care, nutrition, manure management, food safety, and how to find out if your property is approved for raising backyard poultry. Participants will receive teaching materials and a certificate of completion. Registration fee: $15 per household. Registration and payment can be made at http://bit.ly/backyard-urban-chickens.
