Facilitates opportunities for recipient families to start and grow a sustainable flock to nourish themselves and produce income by constructing a sturdy hen house, supplying 10 hens, a rooster, 10 baby chicks, 6 months grain feed (500 lbs) and hands-on training. The eggs produced satisfy the need for immediate, high quality nutrition. Each family invests wood posts and beams, labor to clear and level property and to help build their henhouses and diligent care of their flock. They return 5 non-fertilized eggs per week to the Project for future recipients and 5 adult hens at the end of 6 months to be used for Project brood stock. They sign an agreement for their own benefit that they will not eat or sell any poultry or fertilized eggs for 6 months, which will build their flocks exponentially.
