This project began in response to food insecurity during COVID-19, supporting community families with training and resources in organic gardening.
As a next step in the Chicken’s Project, we want to aid the construction of a chicken house and feed mill to make their own chicken feed. Our strategy is to start collecting cans and bottles for recycling to help finance this project.
The community found that chicken feed from the local markets was of poor quality. Secondly, they want to achieve more protection for their chickens from predators and maximise the use of the manure for the gardens.
Building costs are approximately $4,500 and the Feed Mill machinery to produce quality chicken feed is approximately $3,580.
