Extension Master Gardener

{Editors note: While avid and Extension Master Gardeners like to grow plants, we are seeing a growing interest in raising both plants and backyard chickens, like in this roof garden topped chicken coop Facebook photo!

Thus we thought some of you might be raising backyard chickens and be interested in taking the survey by the Center for Animal Welfare at UC Davis to inform new outreach materials for people who have backyard chickens. 

Pam Geisel, Director of the Statewide Master Gardener Program at University of California explains the survey details below. – Karen Jeannette}

Raising Backyard Chickens? Take the Center for Animal Welfare at UC Davis Survey

Hello Extension Master Gardeners:

I wanted to take a moment to request your assistance and inform you of some important work being done by the Center for Animal Welfare at UC Davis.

We are in the process of evaluation of the health and well being of our backyard chicken populations.

Survey Input will Support Future Backyard Chicken Outreach Materials

We are seeking your input on developing outreach materials for people who have backyard chickens. If you have chickens, we would like you to spend 20 minutes taking the following survey. This goal of this survey is to target the best types of outreach materials and understand what backyard chicken owners really need to know.

Take 20 Minute Survey for Chance to win $50 gift card

There is an opportunity for you to win one of twenty $50 gift cards if you are to share your contact information. However, your survey will be kept confidential and your anonymity will be guaranteed at all times.
