Keeping Chickens Class

  • Tuesday, March 18, 2025, 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM

Learn practical advice for how to successfully raise chickens for home egg production. This class will explore topics including: sourcing healthy birds, determining which laying varieties are best for your needs, options for housing and nutrition, common illness and pest prevention, and the joys of living with chickens! Please note: residents in the Villages of Trumansburg and Dryden and the City of Ithaca who wish to keep chickens need a permit and evidence that you have attended a class on raising chickens. Our class meets that requirement, attendees must attend live and will receive a letter to take to their municipality upon course completion. 

This class is only offered once a year.
