You will learn how to tend to chickens: water, shelter, and feed. Learn about basic behaviors, facts, free-ranging, egg laying, breeds, predators, cleaning routine, coop build, life hacks, memes, etc. Observe chickens in their natural environment, meaning outside the “cage”.

Also, a bunch of books on chickens and 6 eggs to take home. Looking forward to meeting you, Cheers, Olga
