If the idea of keeping chickens appeals to you, come to the Howell Township Library for Raising Backyard Chickens: Got Eggs? to get advice from an expert.
Mary Hussey, a member of the Sussex County Poultry Fanciers, will discuss the advantages and responsibilities of raising your own chickens. Topics for discussion include: why keep chickens, chickens as livestock, choosing the right breed, chicken coops, food production, keeping your birds healthy, and the pitfalls of poultry keeping.
The Sussex County Poultry Fanciers is the only poultry club for adults in New Jersey. Hussey will bring several of her chickens to delight the audience.
Due to the topics discussed, the presentation is for adults only. But following the discussion, from 3 to 3:30 p.m., families with children are welcome to visit the chickens.
Please call the library to register for this event, at 732-938-2300
