Do you live in PA, MD, or VA? Feel free to join us! Take the opportunity to come and hang out with others who like poulttry as much as you do (and you will learn something new to boot!).
Topics planned for the future include caring for your flock, improving health problems, managment solutions, clever ideas, and children's programs. And tell us what topics poultry keepers on the Eastern Shore are really looking for -- we will gladly provide the information. Email bmccrea@desu.edu for a flier that has all the details and a map to the meetings. See you there!
I wish I could go! Maybe we can have something like that in NM someday.
What a wonderful event! I wish it were closer to VA!
Do Accomack County and Northampton County, VA count? Sorry to hear that is is too far for you to come, but perhaps you know of a fellow poultry friend that would benefit. Spread the word! We have already had responses from DE, MD, and PA!
Will this session be relevant to raising guinea fowl?
What is the cost?
Thanks!
