4-H Chick Chain is a program designed to help youth learn how to raise baby chicks into mature production pullets. Youth learn responsibility, ethical treatment of animals, biosecurity, record keeping and communication skills.
The Northwest 4-H Chick Chain Program equips youth with poultry science, public speaking, & problem-solving skills, preparing future agricultural leaders & fostering career exploration in animal science.
Youth purchase or hatch pullets during the fall. While raising the pullets to maturity, they’ll participate in workshops learning how to care for their chicks, complete record books, and showmanship. The culminating event is a spring show where the hens and record books are judged and youth compete in showmanship. First-time participants also compete in a skill-a-thon to demonstrate their poultry knowledge. Returning members embark on Avian Adventures- where they elect to do a demonstration/illustrated talk or an entrepreneurship project.
The Florida 4-H Chick Chain is open to 4-H members in the northwest district 5-18 (as of September 1st). Scan the QR Code to enroll
