Want To Raise Chickens? Have Fresh Eggs? This Program Is For You

January 9, 2010

Are you interested in having fresh eggs on your table and raising chickens on your property? Then classes scheduled in Cantonment and Davisville might be for you.

Escambia Extension will host “Small Scale Poultry and Egg Production” — a course designed to help everyone from novices to professionals in raising chickens. Guest speakers include Dr. Gary Butcher, University of Florida veterinarian and Dr. Richard Miles, University of Florida poultry scientist. They will offer research based information to educate attendees on health and diseases of chicken flocks, nutrition and management of flocks, poultry breeds, and keys to successful egg production.

The course will be offered again at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, January 26 at the Davisville Community Center, 10200 Highway 97. The speakers will also be present at the Davisville program.
