Participant workshop on Backyard Chickens
Since we have several of our participants who have shown interest in having chickens this year, we partnered with the Kentucky extension agency to offer a special poultry workshop.
Topics that were covered in the workshop included:
. Housing considerations (adequate ventilation and space, protection from predators)
. Housing needs (waterer, feeder, perch, bedding material)
. Nesting Boxes
. Housing Designs.
. Things to consider when purchasing your birds.
. Egg collection and storage
. Nutrition and Health
Seed Sorting
We had a lot of helping hands to sort our seeds this year, and we had a fantastic time! Our Grow Appalachia participants love to volunteer and help out!
