What is biosecurity? Biosecurity is putting in place ways of protecting your chickens from disease. In other words, finding out what's a threat to our chickens' health, and putting in place ways of helping control it. The majority of us would genuinely do anything to keep our chickens safe. But disease can easily be carried into backyard flocks as well as commercial operations. Having biosecurity solutions in place will reduce infection, illness and death in chickens without the need for antibiotics and boost your chickens' health

Chick and Biosecurity Training, will be held for those participating in our 2023 Eggcellent Explorers Chicken Chain, on Tuesday, August 15, 2023.  The meeting will take place at our Chatham County Extension building conference room located at 1192 US 64 W; Pittsboro, NC 27312 beginning at 6:00 pm.  This is a MANDATORY training for all who are planning to participate in this years' program.  In this training youth will learn procedures to prevent the introduction and spread of disease-causing organisms in poultry.  No registration is required.
