Backyard Chickens Workshop 16th April 2011

Yesterday, my friend Jan and I presented a workshop to the Melton Sustainable Living Group members and friends.  The workshop is one of the regular monthly activities the group holds on the 3rd Saturday of each month.

I hope you enjoy all the chicken antics and my presentation! Gavin Webber President, MSLG Inc.
