Small Flock Egg Production: From the Coop to the Kitchen

ABOUT THE HYBRID WORKSHOP

Whether you have an established small poultry flock or are considering starting one, knowing how to manage a surplus of eggs is essential. This workshop will provide best management practices for food safety and product quality, covering everything from the chicken coop to the kitchen. Participants will learn how to manage laying hens for optimal egg production and collection, as well as proper egg washing techniques. In the kitchen, we will explore various preservation methods, ideal storage conditions, and cooking tips that prioritize product quality and food safety.
