If you’ve been raising chickens long enough, eventually one will perish unexpectedly and you’re often left wondering, “Why?” When done properly, necropsy can be a powerful post mortem tool to understanding flock health. Join the APPPA team at Heifer Ranch for the final 2025 Regional Event and learn how to confidently perform “avian autopsy” during our hands-on small group demonstrations. We’ll also have an extended farm tour of their working Savory Hub, see autonomous RovaBarns in action, and have a farm fresh lunch. Bonus: Stay on the ranch with their convenient on farm lodging options, too! (fb)

Tonights the night! Join special guest host, David Schafer from @feathermanequipment and Matt Cadman from @shadygroveranch tonight at 7:45 EST for our monthly AskAPPPA discussion. Bring us your pastured poultry processing, production, marketing and all other related questions tonight! For the first 15 minutes we’ll chat with David about how Featherman helps farms in the US and abroad to produce and process poultry on pasture. (Regular Q&A starting at 8 PM EST for one hour.)
