What a neat graphic from Purina Poultry!

Hello from our farm in Missouri! This chicken anatomy poster is hanging on our office wall.

It’s a great reminder of the journey chicken feed takes. The unique nutrients in Purina® complete feeds are first stored in the crop and later absorbed in the small intestine. From vibrant feathers to strong eggshells, each nutrient plays a unique role in bird health and performance.

Hello Everyone!

Every year the UW-Poultry Club sells fresh Thanksgiving turkeys as a fundraising event for our club's annual trip to the International Production and Processing Expo. This year is no different. We hope you'll consider supporting our club, and purchasing your turkey through us using this order form.

This form will be available until November 1st, or until we run out of stock. If you want to purchase two turkeys, then please fill out the form two separate times. Pick up will be on the Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving (11/25-11/26) at the Poultry Research Lab, and payment will be collected at this time.

Please feel free to message us with any questions, and thank you to everyone for all the support!

Happy Friday, Poultry Club!

Shareable Farm Fact Friday: It is not legal for U.S. farmers to feed growth promoting hormones to chickens, so no need to pay more for a package of chicken labeled as free from added hormones.
