PARK HILL, Okla. — Learn about historic chicken care practices during a workshop at Hunter’s Home in Park Hill on Saturday, March 18, from 10–11 a.m. Many of the practices are still being used at the historic home.

Participants can also meet the new Faverolle chicks at Hunter’s Home. Faverolle chickens are known for their beards and feathered legs and feet.
This workshop is free with the regular cost of admission. It is recommended for ages 13 and up.
