Thinking About Raising Chickens? Do This First.
I’ve always had this picture in my mind of myself living in an old farmhouse with chickens in the backyard. Collecting fresh eggs every day, naming them, and having a cool chicken coop. Well, I did get the old farmhouse, which was actually more likely a house for farmhands. But it’s in the City of Poughkeepsie and we’re not allowed to raise chickens. It’s probably for the best, because chances are the commitment is more than I could actually take on.
But, if I did decide to get chickens for my backyard, I would do my best to learn all about them and find out what I’m getting myself into. So, are you thinking about raising chickens? Stony Kill Foundation in Wappingers Falls is hosting an online workshop called “Is Raising Backyard Chickens Right For You?” on Sunday, Feb. 21, from 3PM - 4PM.
