En route to our lab site for Geo 115, John Wilson and I were talking about his 70 acre farm…which led to our lengthy conversation about his chickens. I mentioned to him that a group within the capstone was working on a plan to add chickens to Lafarm’s repertoire. He gave me a TON of insightful information regarding all logistics, chicken behavior, types of chickens, costs, etc etc. He knows you might reach out to him, so I strongly encourage you to do so! He’s with them every day of every year, 6am and on. The conversation was extremely enlightening…even for a non-chicken group member, so send him an e-mail ASAP. This conversation will hopefully give the project a great amount of direction into the chicken sphere.
