Learn how to do Chicken Chores with Volunteer Manager Melanie and WLF Volunteer/Veterinarian Steve. Join us if you are new to Chickens, or if you trained but it's been awhile and you need a quick walk-through of the routine for Summer Chicken Chores while they are in their mobile enclosure. The training includes how to replenish the chickens' food and water, collect eggs all over their space, and cleaning their enclosure.

There are two chore slots per day - one in the morning and one in the evening. Chicken chores are self-guided and each trained Chicken Chore Volunteer is welcome to bring family and friends along to watch and participate in collecting eggs. Once you've completed training, you can sign up for as few or as many slots that fit in your schedule. All volunteers are welcome, including those aged 14+ as well as all members of family groups (as long as kids are accompanied by at least one adult).

We will be meeting in front of the Squash Barn and will walk down to the fenced-in Chicken Area (next to the Goats) to get started.

All volunteers must wear closed-toed shoes. Bring a hat and water if it's sunny. We will begin training promptly at 9:30am. Late arrivals will not be allowed to participate in training.
