Chicken community hosts first ‘chicken training’ for prospective chicken owners

Posted

With the recent ordinance change, the Hastings Backyard Chickens group organized a small gathering for new chicken owners to ask questions of experienced owners and a University of Minnesota (U of M) outreach expert. The group discussed illness prevention, sanitization/cleaning, feeding, euthanasia, housing and a variety of other topics. The key piece was letting folks know there is a community web of support for them as they learn and grow.
