Hi All, I'm looking for some words of wisdom regarding raising chickens in public spaces. Growing Gardens has been approached by a community group looking to collaborate on a chicken project at our site. However, we have a few concerns and I was hoping to get some feedback from this group.
Growing Gardens' main garden site is located in a very public space. Therefore, our primary concern is regarding securing the chickens on land that is open to the public 24/7. I've found a lot of great information on the web, but most of it pertains to backyard spaces. I'm also looking for models of cooperatively taking care of chickens to be adopted out to local families who help care for them. Specifically, information on successful ways of empowering volunteers to take on a sense of responsibility and staff time and resources needed for a successful, healthy chicken project. If you have any advice, successes and/or struggles, I would really appreciate hearing from you! Thanks so much, Annie Sweeney Growing Gardens 3198 North Broadway Boulder, CO 80304 303-413-7248 www.growinggardens.org _______________________________________________ The American Community Gardening Association listserve is only one of ACGA's services to community gardeners.
