From Tractor Supply Co.

The birds are back in town!

That’s right — the Tractor Supply Co. store in Washington will host a backyard poultry event Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

During the event, customers will have the opportunity to engage in a number of activities, all centered on learning how to care for and manage an at-home flock.

“The popularity of raising backyard poultry has continued to grow year after year, and it has a lot to do with the convenience of getting fresh eggs right from your own backyard,” said Tonya Alligood, manager of the Washington Tractor Supply store. “Our goal is to ensure that anyone who’s interested in raising a backyard flock has the resources and information needed to do so.”

In addition to the main event, customers will also have the opportunity to enjoy games and a bake sale.

When it comes to raising backyard poultry, customers can consider Tractor Supply a one-stop shop. All items needed, including starter kits, feeders, bedding, heat bulbs and lamps, coops and more can be found at their local store. And for the poultry enthusiast, an expanded selection of poultry products is available on TractorSupply.com.

This event is open to the public and will take place at 608 W. 15th St. For more information, please contact the Washington Tractor Supply store at 252-946-1549.
