- Join us for a Chick Raising Class at 11am for beginning chick program participants or those looking to brush up on their skills, or just to visit with our Farmers.

- Have fun raising these little peeps in your home until their feathers come in and they are big enough to go outside and run around in about 6-8 weeks.  Then move them to your chicken coop. If you don’t plan to keep the chicks, simply bring them back to the farm to join of flock of egg layers anytime from in a few days to few weeks.
