The Wylde Center Presents:

Chicks in the City Symposium 2013

Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013 • 9 a.m.- 3 p.m.

Oakhurst Church (in the heart of Oakhurst Village)
630 East Lake Drive, Decatur, GA 30030

Topics include:

  • Breeds of Chickens, Including Show Chickens!
  • Chicken Chores
  • Chicken Health and Wellness
  • The Best Coop for Your Space, featuring a Live Building Demo!
  • Baby Chicks Basics of Incubation and Care

With urban farming on the rise as well as concerns about where our food comes from, this timely full day of workshops taught by local chicken gurus will engage and enlighten both the committed “locavore” and curious alike. The Chicks in the City Symposium equips guests with all the resources needed to start an urban flock.

Don’t be a chicken – join us this year and get that backyard flock started. After the Symposium, you will have the poise and confidence to join the ranks of urban chicken keepers across America. And in the process, you will reconnect with the food system, just the way Mother Nature intended!

Sign up quickly – registration limited to the first 150 registrants and tickets always fly fast!

Breakfast treats and coffee available for purchase from Revolution Doughnuts. Light refreshments will be served throughout event.
