Why did the chicken cross the road?
To go to the Backyard Chickens program at the Cannon Grange Hall.
Once again, Cannon Grange is hosting a program about raising and caring for Backyard Chickens, on Thursday evening, March 1 at 7:30 p.m.. , The evening is co-hosted by the Ridgefield Discovery Center, and features Bil Mikulewicz, a member of both organizations and an experienced chicken keeper, will be the featured presenter.
Mikulewicz will provide an interactive program for the audience and describe the necessary equipment for raising a flock of chickens as egg layers. Using a series videos and photos he’ll cover how he has set up his chicken coops and runs.
