Backyard Chickens 101

Learn the essentials of backyard chicken keeping in this practical, hands-on introduction.

This session covers behavior, anatomy, feed, predators, eggs, and more — taught alongside Crown Point's own two resident flocks, with real hands-on time built in. It's not a deep dive, just an honest, practical sense of what keeping chickens actually involves before you decide to try it yourself.

Real chickens, real hands-on time

You'll learn alongside Crown Point's own resident flocks — not a rented or borrowed group of birds brought in for the day. That means real behavior, real anatomy, and a real coop setup to see and handle, not just a description of one.
