Backyard Poultry Certificate Course
Backyard Poultry Marketing Flyer To access the course head to: go.osu.edu/chicken
For a variety of reasons, there is an increase in interest in keeping backyard poultry. Backyard flocks provide the opportunity for people in rural and urban areas alike to produce tasty eggs and meat for personal and family food security. You might want egg layers. You might want to raise meat birds for a harvest in your freezer. You might even have a youth interested in raising chickens for their 4-H or FFA project, as these lower maintenance livestock can be kept in a fraction of the space for a fraction of the cost when compared to other species.
Whatever your reason for raising poultry, this course is designed to provide you with the knowledge and resources you will need to get your backyard flock off to a great start.
This self-paced course is expected to take 2-3 hours to complete and includes the following 6 modules:
- Getting Started
- Brooding, Basic Husbandry & Nutrition
- Housing
- Egg Production
- Maximizing Health
- Biosecurity
Quality Assurance
Any youth wishing to exhibit an animal at the fair is required to complete Quality Assurance and must be completed by June 1st.
