oh boy….
Every once in a while I voyage out of the small town and into the big city. I am teaching a FREE workshop on raising chickens in the big city. I know, I know your’re thinking, “what the hell does Nick know about raising chickens in an urban enviroment?” Well, you may have a point. I bet I know more about it than the people that will attend the event. After all, I know all the city regulations and how to raise chickens. What else do I need to know?
It’s been a tough week or so for Nick-san. I have lost 4 chickens to sickness and one to a fox. Things seem to be getting back to normal, especially since the weather has dried up quite a bit. It’s never fun to get out the old hatchet. I have noticed that it keeps getting harder and harder to have to put my beloved chooks on the stump. It’s all part of being a chicken farmer I guess.
Anyway, here’s the info for the SF Workshop:

Hi Nick – We’re looking for a cute coop of re-cycled wood to house 3-5 chickens… something already made (!) that won’t cost an arm and a leg. Any ideas? And might you be doing a workshop in Cotati anytime soon? Susan

Susan,
I have no plans of doing a workshop in Cotati. There will be some workshops in the early spring in Sonoma and San Francisco. I build coops out of salvaged material. I will let you know when Im done with my next one and you can check it out. Other than that, I don’t know of any.
Keep on Chickening.
Nick
