“Farm families have known the joys of raising their own poultry for years, but people everywhere are beginning to realize the many benefits of raising poultry, even if it’s right in their backyards,” said Connie Tutor of Twin Oaks Feed and Supply located at 8501 Kennebec Rd., Willow Spring, N.C. “We have everything families need to get started with their own flocks, so they too can participate in the chicken raising trend.”
Throughout the duration of Chick Days, Twin Oaks will be getting regular shipments of baby chicks and have a special buy 12 get one free rate. Staff will be available to offer advice and guidance on how to raise chickens from freshly hatched chicks through laying, including details on proper nutrition to provide the best eggs. Chicken raising experts can learn new tips and beginners will learn the basics of starting their flocks.
“Last year’s Chick Days activities were such a success, we’re excited to introduce another round of people to raising their own poultry,” said Tutor. “We’ve been doing this for about 12 or 13 years, and we make sure our staff is educated and up to date.”

“Chicken owners know their eggs are fresh and natural, can be confident in the treatment of the meat they eat and can provide a fun activity for the whole family to get involved with,” said Tutor. “For adults there’s a sense of pride and of self-sufficiency in raising your own food, and children learn responsibility and make a worthwhile contribution to the household by caring for the flock.”
