Chickens and permaculture

When you really want to worry about the well-being of the chickens you want to keep at home, there are several details to know and actions to put into practice to fully respect this animal that generates abundance. This complete and exhaustive training will cover everything there is to know about keeping a few chickens at home all year round, from a perspective where the health and well-being of the animal are the priority. You will (re)discover chicken care in a permaculture approach, learning how to value the natural behaviors of these animals and the ecological services they generate.

Whether you are simply curious to know more about chickens and the care to be given to them, or whether your project to build a henhouse is imminent or underway, there will be something for everyone! You will be able to ask all your questions allowing me to respond directly to your needs.
