What does it take to 'build' a chicken for meat?
How does raising chickens for meat relate to the UK's 2050 carbon net-zero target?
Build-A-Chick is a fun and thought-provoking workshop where you will explore the 'making' and 'processing' of chickens for meat. How are they cared for? Where does the heat to keep them warm come from? What do they eat? Where do the parts of the chicken carcass go that British consumers typically don't eat?
Build-A-Chick is for everyone: families, students, adults. Craft a chick from a yellow stuffed-felt egg shape. Sew on wings, legs, beak, and eyes. Then, complete a chick passport to tell us about your chick. Finally, watch 'Winner Winner Chicken Dinner' by artist Kathryn Ashill.
Build-A-Chick is created and facilitated by the UKRI Changing Agri-Chicken for Net-Zero team, based in Geography, with colleagues from other institutions and the poultry industry. We aim to learn how chicken consumers, retailers, processors, and farmers are contributing to the UK's Net-Zero by 2050 goal.
