Thinking about raising chickens? Come ride bikes through Santa Cruz to see a range of hens and their habitats, ranging from the completely scavenged to the super swanky.

We will discuss coop building plans, philosophies, and sources for cheap/free building supplies; ethical concerns; our experiences with various breeds of chickens; swap resources and advice; and talk to local residents about raising healthy chickens for eggs (and hella good compost!).

Gather at 11:30am, be ready to ride at 12. We'll visit 4 or more diverse flocks and their coops in westside, seabright, delaveaga, and live oak neighborhoods. Bring a pen to take notes, water, and maybe a snack.
