Is your neighborhood going to the birds, specifically chickens? Maybe so. If you are tired of the high price of eggs and thinking of raising your own chickens, the Frontier Extension District may have a solution for you, or at least some advice and tips on how to do just that. They will host a program called “Backyard Poultry 101” on March 30th at the Garnett Community Building. It will feature Kansas State University Extension Poultry Specialist, Dr. Scott Beyer, who will discuss poultry housing and management issues, molting a flock, getting the most egg production, the best breeds for production, vaccinations and health care and setting up a biosecurity plan to deal with the possibility of avian flu.
That informational program will be held March 30th at the Garnet Community Building. If you would like to attend, contact the extension service office for more information.
