CLCC Chickens
Our Feathered Friends Have a New Home!
The Creative Living Community of Connecticut’s Property Committee has worked tirelessly to transform an existing barn into a beautiful, welcoming home for our newest residents — a lively flock of chickens!
This exciting project was made possible through the generous support of the Connecticut Department of Agriculture, Emanuel Lutheran Church of Manchester, and several dedicated individual donors. Together, their contributions helped create a safe and functional coop that’s both a home for our hens and a learning space for our participants.
Purpose and Impact
Our chicken coop provides meaningful vocational opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities, offering hands-on experiences in daily animal care, responsibility, and teamwork. Beyond its educational value, the coop also serves as an additional revenue source for the CLCC Farmstand — where eggs and other farm-fresh products are sold to support our programs and mission.
