LYME—On Saturday, May 3, the Lyme Grange will host an expert-led seminar and question-and-answer session on raising backyard chickens.
Poultry expert Sarah McEachern of Poulin Grain, a producer of animal-nutrition products, will lead the session from 1 to 3 p.m. at The Grange headquarters, 2 Sterling City Rd.
Grange Secretary Nancy Beebe in a press release said that the seminar is a response to area residents who have asked for expert guidance when it comes to raising small flocks of chickens on their property.
The free program is sponsored by the Lyme Grange, Shagbark Lumber & Farm Supplies, and the Hamburg Fair Association. Topics include poultry raising, housing, health concerns, nutritional care and predator considerations.
