The Designer Gardens

When we received an email from a student about her blog, we just couldn’t resist sharing! Rebecca, from Mountain View, attended our Backyard Chicken-Keeping Class this past September and has been posting great pictures of her flock’s development on her gardening blog. If you’d like to add a few of these cute critters to your garden this spring, sign up for this Sunday’s class! In it we share with you all the info you need to care for the 3 baby chicks and brooder kit you take home at the end of the day. How could you resist these plush babies?

Here’s another picture of them at 2 weeks old, discovering the sun after a few weeks of brooding under heat lamps:

They are starting to develop their feathers! Below is a picture of an Araucana breed. Those are the ones that lay the green eggs (Dr. Seuss was right!):

And here is a Cochin breed. Notice the furry feet (we sometimes refer to them as Hobbit chickens):

Rebecca and our students know that fresh eggs are unlike anything you could buy at the grocery store. Don’t take our word for it, find out for yourselves!

Can’t make it to this Sunday’s class? We are also offering the class in May, July, and October. Find out more info here.
