Hot weather can be hard on backyard chickens, and keeping plenty of fresh, cool, clean water available is one of the simplest ways to help your flock handle the heat.

Are you interested in learning more about having your own backyard flock? Or maybe you are a homesteading pro and need guidance? Alabama Extension has science-based resources for small and backyard flock owners covering everything from feeding and brooding chicks to egg production, flock health, biosecurity and everyday management.

Find practical information here: https://www.aces.edu/go/5221

And let us know how your flock is doing.

📚💙 What an incredible way to kick off the new school year!

Today, the Bullock County Alabama Cooperative Extension System was proud to host our Men of Excellence event at Union Springs Elementary School.

We invited men from across the Bullock County community to come together and welcome students back with encouragement, positivity, and support. Thank you to every man who showed up and reminded our students that they are valued, supported, and believed in.

Your presence helped create a memorable first day of school and made a lasting impact on our youth. Together, we are building a stronger Bullock County, one positive connection at a time. 💙

📍🐝 Help Put Our County on the Map! 🌼🦋

The 2026 Great Southeast Pollinator Census is almost here! Help make sure our county is represented by joining this fun citizen science event.

All it takes is 15 minutes to count pollinators in your yard, garden, or favorite outdoor space. Your observations help us learn more about the pollinators that support our farms, gardens, and landscapes.

Watch for more information as we get closer to the event, and help us spread the word!

Bullock County Newsletter August 2026 -

It’s that time of year again – children running wild with no school in session, mothers socializing by the pool, families vacationing, and young adults traveling in their time off from work. No matter the phase of life, summertime typically has a different rhythm than the rest of the year.
