Raising Backyard Chickens

Rooster Jim and The Chickster (aka, Jim & Martha Schwartz) have been raising chickens for decades. Their kids raised them. Their grandkids raise them. And while familiarity may breed contempt among humans, raising thousands of chickens has not diminshed Rooster & The Chickster’s affection for their feathered friends. At the Boise Fall Home Show, which takes place at Expo Idaho from October 22-24, Martha will be sharing her tips on getting started with urban poultry in her seminar, “Raising Backyard Chickens”. The seminars will take place on Friday (October 22) at 7:30 pm, and on Saturday and Sunday (October 23/24) at 1:30 and 3:30 pm. Jim will also be displaying his amazing array of backyard chicken coops, which you can buy already constructed, or purchase the plans and materials list to build your own. What are you waiting for? You can get discount coupons for the Boise Fall Home, which you can present at Expo Idaho for a 2-for-1 ticket deal, at the Boise Co-op Customer Service Desk.
