Teaching all aspects of raising and caring for backyard flocks
Would anyone be interested in me teaching classes where I help and guide you be good backyard flock parent/s?
The written lectures would be on-
The best way to start the flock process before you actually get them.
This would discuss how to have a safe structure/coop. Or if building your own, things you need to know to protect the flock from excess heat, cold, predators.
Each will be on specifics of the topic for that class. No jumping around from subject to subject.
Other classes will be on-
Building a Run and or Free ranging requirements.
Getting chicks, best place to get them when you start out. Care, feed and other things related to chick
What requirements and care there are for Pullets or as I call them teenager period.
What requirements and care for grown flocks includes the males in your flock. this one will be detailed on each species so not to cause confusion.
Safe foods besides feed, safe amounts daily or weekly.
Poisonous foods, plants, trees and flowers. How to treat them if possible
Hot weather vs cold weather
Sickness and disease care
Injury care
Caring for ones who no longer lay eggs and are in their retirement years.
Herbal treatments and recipes
Scratch recipes for the different seasons.
I will start all the above with Chickens first then turkeys then ducks and last geese.
I recommend besides reading my information is to copy it to a personal file or even a journal as things can happen on the web and you could lose any information you want to have handy.
I will do 2 written lectures a month on the 1st and 15th of each month. I may do extra if I come upon something unusual that I feel you need to know immediately.
That way i have time to answer all questions written here to me.
To make this reasonable each month membership is $5.
Your membership means I am capable of caring for more Special Needs that I am given.
