So in a couple of weeks we are gonna be facilitating a workshop at stone circles on how to build and use a chicken tractor- the flyer really says it all- but you know i've got to type something here: Chicken Tractor Workshop April 19th (Sunday) 10am-4pm Facilitated by: George O'Neal of Lil' Farm in Hillsborough, NC Details: The Chicken Tractor/ Mobile Coop workshop will first consist of some basic discussion and information about benefits of mobile chicken coops, breeds/varieties, as well as management practices. In the second portion of the workshop we will work on constructing two types of mobile chicken coops. One will be a coop built on the top of a "pull behind" trailer with a vehicle hitch, used for egg layers. The second will be a smaller coop that services the backyard chicken owner, and the smaller homestead. Participants should bring work clothes to wear, and the Stone House will be providing a lunch for the workday. The cost of the workshop will be on a sliding scale basis ranging from ($5-$15) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please RSVP if you interested so we can plan accordingly |
