Poultry Environmental Chamber & Wiley-Boone Aviary

Poultry Environmental Chamber (PEC)

The Poultry Environmental Chamber (PEC) houses the incubation/hatching units and a classroom for teaching poultry techniques as well as farm-related labs. It is also used as a training facility for NPIP testing and certification.

The incubation/hatching facility is used to replenish the farm with young stock as older stock is removed, either through attrition or research replacement. This unit also provides an environment for studies lasting three weeks or less and where a more controlled environment is desired.

The PEC building provides embryonic eggs for several departments on campus for both research and laboratory activities. The farm contributes fertilized eggs for two departments at Furman University as it has done for several years.

Wiley-Boone Aviary

The Wiley-Boone Aviary is located between the PEC building and the main farm. The aviary has been a work in progress since 2003. The Wiley-Boone Aviary buildings are being built by donations which are accepted by Dr. Michelle Hall. She can be reached at (864) 656-4022.  If you would like to donate birds or money to feed these beautiful birds, contact the Morgan Poultry Center at (864) 656-3064. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Currently the Wiley-Boone Aviary houses:

• Exotic Chickens
• Fancy Bantams
• Chukars

Public viewing of these beautiful birds is available Monday thru Friday 8:30am - 4:30pm.
