Consultations & Educational Offerings

Picture
Individual and small group on-site consultations available upon request.  These informal consultations include help with coop layout/ design, choosing a breed(s), neighbor issues, general trouble-shooting, and/or specific flock concerns.

For a group of 10 or more, a two-hour workshop can often be arranged at your local library or community center.  Workshop offerings include "City Chickens: Keeping Hens in Urban Areas", "Backyard Chickens for Beginners", "Backyard Chickens: Beyond the Basics" (Intermediate), and "Chickens Make Great Pets!" (for ages 6-10, this 45 minute program includes handling live chickens).

Classroom programs for preK-8 and school consultations (for beginning a flock of hens at your school!) are also available.  Possible classroom programs include baby chicks, embryology, chicken biology/ anatomy, avian behavior, and bird ecology and evolution.

Please email pioneervalleychickens@yahoo.com to request a consultation or workshop.  Fees negotiable.
