CANTON - Cornell Cooperative Extension and North Country Pastured, LLC will host a chicken house building workshop from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 15 for those interested in supplying local demand for poultry.
North Country Pastured has received funding from the North Country Economic Development Project to operate a USDA-approved mobile poultry processing unit in Northern New York. The unit will be certified for organic, humanely-treated, and animal welfare-approved processing of chickens, ducks, turkeys, and pheasants.
The workshop at the Cornell Cooperative Extension St. Lawrence County Extension Learning Farm in Canton will focus hands-on on building chicken housing from A-frames and hoop houses to “chicken tractors” and transport crates.
The items built at the rain-or-shine workshop will be raffled off at the end of the day. Organizers advise participants to come dressed to work with building tools.
The workshop fee is $15; pre-registration is required: contact 379-9192 or bmf9@cornell.edu.
