In this class, River City Chickens will build on the topics covered in their "Chickens 101" class, making use of videos to demonstrate multiple aspects of urban hen-keeping. Established in 2007, River City Chickens has worked with several municipalities to develop their urban hen programs. The class is taught by experienced instructors, including a veterinarian. We will take an in-depth look at some urban coop designs, and cover practical aspects of hen-keeping, including wing, nail, beak and vent care.
