SUMMARY:Small Scale Paddock Pasturing System for Back Yard Chickens
DESCRIPTION:A mini workshop Saturday June 25th 10 am to noon\nChickens
  love to eat fresh live greens and insects. In a permanent fenced in y
 ard chickens will consume all the growing greens and most of the insec
 ts within a month or so, and then their yard is just dirt. Chickens li
 ving on the same ground are more at risk for sickness. Plus it’s jus
 t boring for them.\nCome see how I’ve created a small scale system o
 f moveable fences and alternating paddocks around our chicken coop. On
 ce set up it’s not a lot of work to keep it maintained and to contin
 ually give your chickens what they love – new fresh ground, greens a
 nd insects. They will be healthier and happier.\nWe have 10 chickens a
 t our half acre place in the Birchwood neighborhood within the city li
 mits. We’ve been keeping chickens here for 6 years. I love observing
  our chickens and learning what they like and need and I’ve enjoyed 
 adapting their living space to make them as happy and healthy as I can
 .\nFor anyone just starting out and for those who already have a chick
 en set up for back yard chicken keeping and small farms, the principle
 s of this system can be applied.\n\nIn this mini workshop I’ll cover
 :\nThe system I’ve created and how I set it up, including fencing wi
 th multiple 'gates', moveable fences, sectioning a chicken yard and gr
 owing cover crop alternations.\nThe benefits and advantages of using a
 lternating paddocks  and moveable fencing over free range, chicken tr
 actors, and permanent runs. Maintaining the integrity of your yard/gar
 den and it’s many uses while giving your chickens fresh growing gree
 ns and insects.\nThe challenges of this system:  the extra time it ta
 kes, the room needed and the ‘puzzle‘ of setting it up in the begi
 nning.\nWe’ll discuss how  to apply this system  to YOUR yard,  f
 lock size and specific needs.\nQuestions? Call Angela at 733-3541\nRSV
 P:  Call and let me know if you’d like to come to this event.\nFREE

 pted)\n\nFor more information visit https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com
