FREE: The Fifth Annual Chicken Seminar!
The
first two years we held the seminar at the farm, next to the Hen House.
And this was the third year at the Natural Gardener. Over 150
chickinists attended. FREE: The Fifth Annual Chicken Seminar!
Presenter: Carol Ann Sayle
The Natural Gardener nursery (http://www.naturalgardeneraustin.com)
hosted this year's seminar before the store opened for business. The
Natural Gardener is located at the corner of Old Bee Caves Road and
Travis Cook Road, in Oak Hill (Southwest Austin).
********************************************************************************Chickens not only provide tasty, nutritious eggs, but they are also great pets: interesting, communicative, smart in their own way, and very humorous!
The topics to be covered include: recommended size of flock, breeds of layers and their attributes, starting new chicks, feed sources, hen house design, chicken tractors, predators, roosters, and more!
The event will take place outside near the nursery's beautiful gardens. Bring a lawn chair, water, and a hat. Also, bring your questions (and your answers!) for a stimulating discussion of all things chicken! (Laying chickens, that is!) For beginners and current "chickenists."
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010 Celebrating the Fourth of July, we were entertained with Bluegrass Music from Christy and the Plowboys! Check out their website: http://www.christyandtheplowboys.com/start.aspx
