Introduction to Poultry w/ Rhythm Ranch Homestead

Poultry 101 is a beginner-friendly class designed to give you the knowledge and confidence to start your own flock the right way.

We’ll cover why chickens are one of the most practical and rewarding livestock choices — from fresh eggs and compost to pest control and greater self-sufficiency — while also discussing the daily care and time commitment involved.

You’ll learn how to choose the right breeds for your goals and climate, set up a safe and predator-proof coop, provide proper nutrition at every life stage, and recognize signs of a healthy bird. We’ll also cover common health concerns, basic flock management, egg collection and food safety, and realistic expectations for costs and maintenance.

Whether you’re dreaming of fresh eggs or building a more sustainable homestead, this class provides a clear, practical foundation so you can start small and grow with confidence.
