The Backyard Poultry Meetup Group is for people interested in backyard flocks of chickens, ducks, guineas, turkeys, geese, or other poultry for pets, eggs, meat, or exhibition. You just might be surprised at how many people living in your neighborhood are raising chickens and other poultry, in addition to gardening, composting, raising bees, and incorporating solar energy, rainwater harvesting and other clean and alternative energy solutions into their backyard food production.
If you are new to raising poultry, our members are always happy to share tips on getting started raising poultry. Chickens and other poultry are only one part of living a more sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle, so we also address more advanced topics of integrating poultry into general food production and environmentally conscious practices.
