Making Dollars and Sense out of Backyard Poultry
Thursday, April 27, 2023 · 10 am–noon
Zoom Event
Partly due to the pandemic and the new trend towards homesteading, many homeowners want to keep poultry in their backyards for meat, eggs or profit. This workshop is for people with little or no experience raising poultry. Learn the basics of housing, feeding, disease control and predator control. Adrian Gilbert, of Thankful Acres Farm and Stephanie Miller, of Mystic Pines Farm will share their personal stories.
