Chicken Health Day

Would you like to learn about chickens and their health? Then Chicken Health Day is for you. We conduct Chicken Health Day each spring to count our flock and assess their health. This year it will be held on 9 May 2026 starting at 7am, and we need volunteers who want to help and learn. We will start after a short discussion on the procedures. Then we check ALL of our chickens in just a few hours. It’s fast paced while we check for general health, treat for parasites, remove rooster spurs, and band older hens that will be processed in the coming months. Happy Wife Acres is located at 8600 Haddix Rd, Fairborn, Ohio. Please use the form below to register. We need at least 5- 10 volunteers. Lunch will be provided afterwards.

Yes, I am interested in helping with Chicken Health Day at Happy Wife Acres!

Chicken Health Day is on Saturday, 9 May, at 7am. You’ll learn how to handle chickens, recognize healthy chickens, treat chickens for mites, and how to remove rooster spurs! There will be an after event discussion to talk about what we saw.
All participants must be at least 12 years old.
