LAPLACE — The LaPlace Tractor Supply Company store will host a backyard poultry event from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on August 10. This event provides the opportunity to learn how to care for and manage an at-home flock. It will feature a number of expert event partners to provide customers with guidance.

“The popularity of raising backyard poultry continues to grow year after year,” said Ray Sparnecht, manager of the LaPlace Tractor Supply store. “Poultry owners love the convenience of getting fresh eggs right from their own backyard, but many people don’t know where to start. Our goal is to continue educating suburban and rural poultry enthusiasts while ensuring anyone who’s interested in raising a backyard flock has the resources and information needed to do so.”

The St. John 4H will be on site from 10:30a.m. – 11:30 a.m. and will have 4health Resource Center and Backyard Poultry 101.

This event is open to the public and will take place at 2335 W Airline Hwy. For more information, please contact the LaPlace Tractor Supply at 985-652-8808.
