Raising chickens is
not just for farmers! Terry Golson has
many years of experience caring for a small flock of laying hens in her
backyard that supply eggs for her family’s table. In this slideshow and
lecture, Terry will share all the information needed to get started with
chickens, including breed selection, housing, feed, and how to keep the hens
healthy. Terry will talk about chicken behavior, predators, and daily chores.
She will also show how she composts the manure and uses it in her garden.
Instructor Terry Golson has kept a flock of hens in her backyard for almost 20 years. Through her website, HenCam.com, she shares her chickens and knowledge with a worldwide audience. Terry does chicken keeping presentations, and school and nursing home visits with her hens. She’s appeared on The Martha Stewart Show, and has been featured in numerous magazine and newspaper articles. Terry is the author of The Farmstead Egg Cookbook, a picture book starring her hens; Tillie Lays an Egg; and a postcard book, Vintage Chicken Photographs.
