4-H Poultry

4-H Poultry Project

The 4-H Poultry Project provides youth with a fun and hands-on learning experience that helps develop life skills while teaching valuable information on properly caring for their birds. Topics covered include general care, nutrition, housing, and healthcare. These subjects are presented through curricular materials, workshops, activities such as poultry judging, and the preparation of an exhibit. Youth also have the opportunity to develop responsibility, decision-making, nurturing, and communication skills through active participation in the 4-H Poultry Project.
