Intro to Backyard Chicken-Keeping Instructor: Lisa Bougoulas, Chelmsford Agway

This workshop will cover the basics required to get started in backyard chicken-keeping. Lisa will discuss breed selection and how to choose chickens that are winter hardy and family friendly, how to care for chicks, feeding requirements, coop selection and cleaning, keeping your chickens safe from predators, egg production and keeping your chickens healthy. In the Spring of 2011, after a lot of research on the different breeds of chickens, Lisa came home with five chickens. She quickly succumbed to a phenomenon known as 'chicken math' and somehow ended up with eleven chickens. She has been ordering the chickens at Chelmsford Agway for the past nine years and through her own flock and talking with customers, she has gained a wealth of information about how to raise a happy and healthy flock. She has thoroughly enjoyed her chickens these past eight years, and loves to talk about chickens to anyone that comes into the store! Class held at 12 Mudge Way, Rm 152.

Instructor: Tom Musco & Deb D’Amico The Teamwork & Timbers Program is a one-of-a-kind educational program of the National Barn Alliance.

Along the way, children learn about types of wood, history of rural structures, parts of a barn, and most importantly, why teamwork is critical; one person cannot raise a barn. Unknowingly, they also use their math, science and engineering skills to raise the frame with success. It is a 3-D puzzle that teaches students (both young and old) how barns are made, touching upon science and humanities.
