Risk Management for Poultry and Rabbit Farming

Friday, August 21, 2026 • 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

VSU Randolph Farm

4415 River Road Petersburg, Virginia, 23803


Poultry and rabbits are great animals to raise in a small area and with limited resources. Like any business, cuniculture (rabbit) and fowl farming have risks to consider and minimize. We will cover different breeds of rabbits, turkeys, poultry, geese, ducks and guinea fowl, as well as housing, health, feed cost, marketing, predators, record keeping, personal goals, etc. This workshop will have a relaxed atmosphere, and you can bring your questions and related experiences about how you have solved high-risk situations associated with raising rabbits and poultry.
