Interested in keeping chickens in your backyard but don't know how to get started? Brad Halm from The Seattle Urban Farm Company will help guide you through the process of designing a chicken coop and run and figuring out where to put it. He'll discuss the basics of managing a flock in an urban backyard, sizing and siting the coop, design tips to keep out predators, and how to personalize your coop and save money using salvaged materials for construction!

Brad got his start growing food in college in a small vegetable garden at The Homestead, an experiential living center at Denison University. He then apprenticed on organic farms in Ohio, and managed Village Acres Farm in Pennsylvania before moving to Seattle where he has been helping people build and care for their urban farms ever since.
