🐔 Want to master the art of chicken-keeping? Our friend Laura Menard at Four Acorns Farm has just the class for you!

LAST CLASSES FOR 2024

Classes taught here on the farm in Aptos (95003) with registration through Cabrillo College's Extension. Class size capped to 10 adults for a more personal experience. Relaxed and informative classes held in our 2,000 sq.ft. poultry barn with refreshments, a tour of the flocks, and comfortable seating.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BACKYARD CHICKEN KEEPING FOR BEGINNERS (AKA Chickens 101): Sat. Nov. 9th... 9a-12p ONE SEAT LEFT

This class answers so many questions and may be right for you if: ... Chicken curious? Unsure of what's truly involved in keeping chickens? Want to build a rodent and predator proof coop? Worried that you're not doing it right? Already took the plunge and wondering what the heck you're in for?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

QUARTERLY FLOCK AND COOP MAINTENANCE: Sat. Nov. 15th... 1-4p SEATS AVAILABLE

In this class, I demystify flock management and coop maintenance. This class may be right for you if:.. You hate cleaning the chicken coop. You've never trimmed your chicken's claws or inspected them for mites. You've had an issue with flies, rats, predators, mice, snakes, and/or mites in the coop. Or if you want to learn efficient flock and coop management.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CHICKEN HEALTH AND FIRST AID: Sun. Nov. 16th... 1-4p
ONE SEAT LEFT

This class discusses the variety of bacterial and viral diseases common to chickens. Proactive disease defense and transmission clarified. Chicken First Aid unpacked and a complete First Aid Kit for sale. This class may be right for you if:.. You've ever lost a chicken for no apparent reason. You worry about expensive vet visits. You want to provide better hands on care for your flock.

I expect these classes to sell out and my 2025 classes won't start up again until February. Hope you can join us!

Serious heatwave tips from our friends at Four Acorns Farm.

Heatstroke for chickens?!

Yes, one of the biggest dangers our flocks face is heatstroke. Our birds can't take off those down coats, right? Keep in mind that the chickens can get heat stress, dehydrate, stop laying, etc when the temperatures soar.

Suggestions:
Provide lots of dirt in the shade - in the run and free ranging
Make sure there's ample cross ventilation
Check that all waterers work - add more water
Offer frozen veggies and fruit in water
Or offer chunk fruit like watermelon
Spray the soil to bring temperatures down (or use a mister)
Spray the chickens down in prolonged heat

I just sprayed the soil, the birds, checked my waterers, and turned on the barn fans. It is HOT here in Aptos!

Keep 'em safe!
Laura
