We are a continuation high school in Southern California. We are located in a metropolitan area and as a school have embraced Urban Farming. Our goal it to introduce our students to the farm. We currently are raising a variety of chickens and experimenting with egg colors.

Door installed in the Garden
Students installed a door in the garden in an attempt to keep the chickens out of a portion of the garden so we can continue to plant vegetables.
Chicken run reinstalled for Chickens
Students last week installed the goat fencing and then layered that with some orange construction fencing in an attempt to keep the chickens close to the coop and campus. The chickens have had free range of the campus since COVID.
Valencia Chicks
The Valencia elem school kindergarten teachers hatched 8 eggs from the HHS Family Farm this month and returned the chickens to us on Tuesday. My class on Wednesday built a top to the brooder and we placed the chicks outside of room 1.
