Purpose at ‘Our Backyard’

The Chickens at ‘Our Backyard’ have many jobs. They are happy to devour our kitchen scraps and veggies, they also eat bugs and worms, seeds and nuts, grass and wait for it…weeds!

Our Chickens also supply eggs for use in our cooking program.

We have a flock of Chickens who take care of the pests in our gardens. They help keep our gardens weed and pest free.
