In further small-scale chicken-related news, CFAES’s research arm, OARDC, will host a second Organic Poultry Pasture Walk at its East Badger Organic Research Farm, 7250 Ely Road just north of Apple Creek, from 10 a.m. to noon on Sept. 21.
The first walk “featured the new birds just being placed in the chicken mobile units on red clover,” says the event’s press release. The second walk “will be a time to see how the broilers have grown and the differences in the growth rates between commercial broilers and red broiler breeds.” Also among the topics: Alternative organic poultry diets and managing broilers in mobile units.
