On Saturday, March 18, from 10 to 11 a.m., learn about historic chicken care practices at Hunter’s Home that are still a part of the daily life of the historic property. From keeping chickens watered and fed, to keeping track of where they lay their eggs, and luring the flock back into the chicken coop to roost, this workshop will cover the basics of caring for free-range chickens and give the public a chance to meet the historic home’s new Faverolle chicks. Faverolle chickens are known for their beards and feathered legs and feet.
This workshop is free with the regular cost of admission, and is recommended for ages 13 and up. Hunter’s Home is the only remaining pre–Civil War plantation home in Oklahoma. A kitchen garden, field crops, animals, a log cabin, and the historic home give visitors a window into life on an antebellum Cherokee plantation.
