Adult Programs:
Suburban Homesteader: Backyard Chicken Keeping with Terry Golson. Tues, May 3, 7-8:30 pm. You don’t have to be a farmer to keep chickens! Terry Golson has 20 years of experience keeping 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 everything you need to get started with your own chickens: selecting the right breed for you, housing, feed, and how to keep them healthy. Terry will talk about chicken behavior, predators, and daily chores. She’ll show you how she composts the manure and makes use of it in her garden. Sign up at gpl.org, or call 978-448-8000.
