Chicken 101

Start your backyard flock with confidence.

Thinking about backyard chickens? This comprehensive class covers everything you need to know: breed selection for San Diego's climate, coop requirements, feeding basics, health management, egg collection, and local regulations. Learn how chickens provide both fresh eggs and valuable fertilizer for your garden. Whether you're a first-timer or looking to improve your chicken-keeping skills, you'll leave ready to start or expand your flock.

Since 1972, we've focused on simple growing methods, time-tested advice, and locally-grown plants.

We'd love to invite you down to our open-air canyon classroom for casual learning, informed by over 50 years of experience.

Free to attend, no RSVP required.

Class times can change or shift, we recommend you check our website for the most up-to-date

Parking Notice for Class Participants If you're attending a free class and are able to walk a short distance, please consider parking on Altadena Ave and walking over. This keeps our lot available for customers shopping at our three businesses who may be on tight schedules.

When classes fill up, a full parking lot can prevent other shoppers from visiting our stores. By parking on the street, you help ensure everyone can access our businesses.

Planning to shop? No worries! You can easily swing back through our "Loading Zone" after class for convenient drive-up loading of bulky purchases—no parking required.
