From Egg to Hen: Raising Chickens for Beginners
This class will take place at local animal rescue Happy Grounds Farm & Sanctuary, where participants can see how chickens are cared for in a diverse livestock setting. This class will be taught by farm owner Karissa Holcombe and WSU Kitsap Extension coordinator Clare Menard, a former farmer with extensive chicken experience. Topics covered will be how to raise chickens from when they arrive all the way into their adulthood, feeding and housing them, and keeping them safe and healthy. Karissa will also talk about her chicken first aid kit and her methods for treating various injuries in her flock.
This class is a part of a new series called Living on the Land Workshops, a program by WSU Regional Small Farms for Kitsap, Jefferson, and Clallam counties. Living on the Land Workshops are for people living on small acreage, backyard growers, and anyone interested in connecting with their local food systems. Classes will take place online, where people can access them from the comfort of their home, and in-person at local farms for hands-on, interactive learning. Topics in 2025 will cover chicken and poultry care, raising and breeding small ruminants, seed-saving, food preservation, and composting.
Living on the Land classes will take place throughout the year and participants can attend one class or all. Online classes have unlimited registration. In-person class size is limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Tickets are available to reserve approximately one month before the class. The classes are free and open to the public.
