An upcoming course hosted by Purdue Extension will cover the fundamentals of small scale poultry production for current and prospective poultry producers.  The course, “Raising Poultry for Pleasure and Profit”, will be held on Thursday evenings, February 2-March 1, from 5:30-8:30 PM, at the Spencer County 4-H Fairgrounds in Chrisney.  The course will be presented via Adobe Connect webinar technology. 

Topics will include the basics of poultry production, keeping the flock healthy and productive, developing a forage and production system, making a profit, and creating a customer-ready product. 

The cost of the program is $40 per person for the five-session series or $15 per person per individual session.  Early bird registration deadline is January 26.  After the deadline, registration cost is increased by $10 per person.  In addition to live, on-site viewing, participants have the option of viewing the sessions from home via a high-speed internet connection.  The registration cost and deadline remain the same for at-home viewing.
