Today our partners at Morena Farming and Chicks Ahoy Farm partnered together to put up a coop and welcome 9 chickens to the Miller Street Community Farm. Alongside community members, we learned about the basics for caring for the chickens, set up the food and water feeders, laid woodchips in their nesting area, and fed them sunflower seeds. In the coming week, we'll make sure their predator protection is set up to keep them as safe as possible. The chickens in this coop will provide eggs, an important protein source, for the neighbors on Miller/Bridge in Middletown. Check out pics from the day, and if you're interested in learning more about chickens or helping with the care of our birds, please write to diana@katalcenter.org.
