Inspired by Chickens

[Inspired Chick]

Hi My name is Lauren. I am a new member. I teach a Special Education High School Program called Inspire. I teach students all kinds of outside the box type career possibilities. Our number one program and experience is working with the school Chickens. Students care and love on our girls. The students will also be working with the Ag dept students and FFA student to create a unique (fingers crossed) cross breed. I would love any advice or anectodal information on crossbreeding.

Hi Lauren, that's great your students are having the opportunity to experience chickens. Best wishes to you and your class on your efforts to create a unique cross breed.

Greetings & Salutations. Welcome Lauren.

Wonderful that you are working with your students in such a way and enlisting the Ag dept and FFA. There is much information on this site and members are willing to help.

Possibly you can peruse these forums to see if there is info for your needs. Also to ask/post questions. Maybe even asking what are some ideas on breeds with which to begin.
