Join the experts at the Wildflower Garden as they share everything you
need to know to prepare, establish and maintain a thriving henhouse
and/or ducks and you can even take home your own chicks!The morning
will involve:
- Meet at Caley’s Pavilion and meet our newly hatched
chicks!
- Short presentation on the basics of keeping poultry
- Visit to the organic garden to learn more about
poultry-keeping in action with free-range ducks and chickens including
Silkies and Australorps. Discuss care, behaviour, diet and disease
prevention.
TAKE HOME YOUR OWN CHICKS!
Pre-orders must be placed by Thursday 2 October as eggs will go in
the incubator 4-5 weeks ahead of the workshop. Cost is $20 per chick
with a minimum of two, maximum of four. We hope to have leghorns (a
laying breed) and Wyandotte bantams (they lay little eggs and are very
cute).
You must be booked to attend the workshop in order to purchase
chicken/s to pick up on the day. Please email
sustainability@kmc.nsw.gov.au to reserve up to 2 chickens.
