In light of the state of HPAI across the country and in NYS, the Poultry Subgroup of the Livestock PWT has developed two webinars to assist small farms and backyard laying flock owners to make informed decisions around getting laying hens and managing disease, while keeping abreast of the current status of HPAI and how they can keep it out of their flocks.
Topics covered include:
- Local regulations for chicken ownership
- Expectations for your flock
- Raising layers from peep to egg
- Costs of owning a laying flock
- Best practices and regulations for selling eggs
