BOONVILLE, Mo. – Cooper County 4-H poultry leader Rori Comstock conducted a poultry workshop Nov. 11 at the University of Missouri Extension Center in Cooper County. The 20 participants represented Cooper, Moniteau and Howard counties.
Special guests included Heather Conrow, state poultry specialist; Maddison Concannon, Cooper County office manager; and Timi Burnett, Prairie Home Helping Hands 4-H club leader.
Participants explored a variety of poultry topics, including breeds, egg production, and showing poultry. They also had the opportunity to learn how to candle eggs and participate in interactive games and group discussions.
The workshop provided a great opportunity for participants to learn new skills, share knowledge, and connect with other poultry enthusiasts. Due to the success of the event, Comstock plans to host another poultry workshop this spring.
