Getting The Right Chicken For The Right Job – AG Matters

I never realized it growing up, but I was spoiled with "fresh from the farm eggs and chicken."  My grandparents raised chickens and no one, including the Colonel, has ever touched Grandma's fried chicken. Cornell Cooperative Extension can you help get the right chicken for the right job with a workshop March 2.

CCE Madison County is hosting Raising Chickens 101 from 7 to 9 p.m. at their offices , 100 Eaton Street Morrisville, NY. Registration will begin at 6:30. CCE educator Erin Hull from Onondaga will discuss the basics and more.

Register online or for more information, contact Katherine Brosnan by calling (315) 684-3001.  The cost is just $10, and $5 for any additional family or farm member.
