This workshop will be led by Fleur from BookAChook, specialists in bantams in the backyard.

BookAChook hires out chickens to people who are interested in keeping chickens but want a test run first, to see whether it works for them. The people from BookAChook are therefore well-versed in the urban home or school garden environment as a site for keeping chooks. Discuss pens, breeds, nutrition, managing a healthy environment, how to care for chooks, and how to enjoy having them in your garden.

Fleur grew up on a farm, but even since she moved to the city has always kept chooks in her backyard. After 20 years in community health and as a yoga teacher Fleur has returned to her roots, helping people bring a little bit of the country into their city gardens – it's good for your health too!
