Hi all, I'm a grade 12 student from rural Southwestern Manitoba, Canada, and I need all the help I can get heading! I'm going to university to study agroecology in the fall as I have a passion for sustainable agricultural practices and the environment. I was given the chance to apply for this...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes and No!

Hi! My name is Margaret and I'm currently enrolled in the agriculture program at my local community college. For my animal science class, I'm required to interview someone in an animal science career. If you're a veterinarian or a veterinary technician (or know one that would take my survey)...
