Let’s All Keep Chickens! Alemany Farm
Have you always wanted to keep chickens but thought it required special knowledge and a large investment in equipment? Join Dalia Monterroso, a backyard chicken educator known as The President of Chickenlandia, in this fun and inspirational class about learning the peace, joy, and accessibility of backyard chicken keeping. Discover how to plan your flock, raise baby chicks, care for adult chickens, house chickens, and keep them safe without harming wildlife. Monterroso’s enthusiasm is contagious as she conveys the basics of chicken keeping, emphasizing low-cost, natural practices. Then, drawing from her own experience as the child of Guatemalan immigrants, Monterroso celebrates how chicken-keeping has been practiced worldwide and offers an opportunity to connect with previous generations and transcend cultural, racial, economic, and political divides. A Q&A will follow the class, so bring a pad and paper!
LA Q&A will follow the class addition; the Down-to-Earth Guide to Natural Practices for Healthier Birds and a Happier World will be available for purchase at the class (credit cards only, no cash), or purchase one in advance from Book Passage and bring to the class to get Dalia’s signature!
You can learn more about Dalia on her popular YouTube Channel, Welcome to Chickenlandia, her podcast Bawk Tawk, and her website, welcometochickenlandia.com. Hope to see you there!
