How To Get A Free 2023 Chicken Calendar

Did you know that you can get totally free 2023 chicken calendar(s) from the USDA?

To help educate backyard poultry keepers about infectious poultry diseases and protect their birds, the United States Department of Agriculture is again offering FREE yearly calendars for 2023, called: DEFEND THE FLOCK (click on the title to see what the calendar looks like online).

Each year, it’s a full-color calendar with great photographs of poultry, so I send off and get it every year. Actually, I usually order two and they send two. Last year I ordered six and they sent six. I found that they make a nice gift for my chicken-keeping friends!

So, if you’re looking for some excellent 2023 calendars, here’s your opportunity to get them FREE! Please don’t try to order them from me, you have to order them from the USDA as described above.
