Backyard Poultry 101

In this workshop we will cover raising chickens for profit successfully – either on your farm or for enjoyment in your backyard. We will take you through the step-by-step process of how to raise meat birds and egg layers from hatching through to the end product. The workshop will address the different breeds of chickens, as well as which breeds are best for obtaining the value-added results you want for your individual markets.
