Drawing on his experience working with pastured poultry farms across the country, Mike Badger will share practical advice on raising healthy, productive laying hens.

* Sourcing and care of baby chicks
* Feeding and nutrition, including sources
* Housing considerations on pasture, over winter, and in the backyard
* A holistic approach to health
* Dealing with Predators
* Making sales

This workshop is for all experience levels, but you should definitely attend if you are:
* New to chickens.
* Thinking about selling eggs for profit.
* Are frustrated with a lack of eggs or unhealthy birds.
* Unable to find reliable information on the internet.
About Mike: Mike Badger started raising pastured poultry with his wife Christie 16 years ago. In that time, they raised chickens for family, for friends, and for sale to the community. Now they keep their own flock and distribute ready to lay pullets to backyards and farms across Pennsylvania. Mike has served with the American Pastured Poultry Producers Association as the Executive Director, and while he no longer serves in that role, he continues to publish the association’s bi-monthly trade magazine, APPPA Grit. He also hosts the popular podcast Pastured Poultry Talk.
