Students will perform management activities that are required for the care of a group of poultry. Day old chicks will arrive soon after the semester begins and students will be responsible for all daily care including: feeding, cleaning, weekly weights, bird identification, moving the coops on pasture, record keeping, marketing and distributing the processed birds. Students who are continuing with the class become officers/TAs and present short lectures on related subjects such as diseases and nutrition, help provide instruction and organize the classes and activities.
