January 27, 2011
Source: Community Partnership Update/February 2011
 On the wings of Oakhurst Community Garden Project's wildly popular "Chicks in the City" classes comes a full day of urban poultry-keeping. On Saturday, Feb. 26, the Chicks in the City Symposium offers attendees a full plate of essentials on backyard chickens.
Taught by local experts, the five sessions highlight how-tos from coop design to breeds, chicken first aid and getting started with backyard poultry. The symposium will also feature the return of Andy Schneider, the Chicken Whisperer, whose Saturday morning national radio show will broadcast live from the event.
New topics for discussion this year include chickens as food, predator proofing your coop and first aid. This year will also feature a silent auction to familiarize participants with best local chicken care products.
The Chicks in the City symposium takes place from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. and will be held at the Decatur Recreation Center; cost is $65. Pre-registration is required at the Oakhurst Garden website and is limited to the first 100 registrants.
