Posted

LIBERTY, NY — An educational series on beginner farming continues this month with “Introduction to Poultry Farming” on Thursday, June 25 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County (CCESC) Gerald J. Skoda Extension Education Center on 64 Ferndale-Loomis Rd.

According to the Oxford Dictionaries website, the definition of poultry is “domestic fowl, such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese (www.oxforddictionaries.com).” Michelle Lipari, CCESC agriculture and 4-H community educator will present this opportunity for anyone looking to learn more about the basics of poultry farming. Topics to be discussed include breed selection, egg hatching, raising chicks and adult birds, feed and nutrition, equipment, healthcare and the regulations for selling eggs and meat.

Cost to attend is $15 per person or $10 per CCESC enrollee. Anyone can enroll in the CCESC association for an annual donation of $25 per household. Enrollees must identify membership status at time of payment in order to receive discounts.

Space is limited and pre-registration with non-refundable payment is required. Registration and more information can be obtained by emailing sullivan@cornell.edu or calling 845/292-6180. Donations for CCESC programs are appreciated.
