4-H Poultry Projects engage youth in learning life skills while having fun raising chickens. In The 4-H Pullet Chain, youth raise day old chicks for 5 to 7 months. Project members will care for, train, and prepare their birds for show and/or final sale. The 4-H Laying Flock Project provides the same opportunities; however, it is designed for youth that have older laying hens or purchased non 4-H chicks to raise.

Throughout the project, youth and their families will receive a project newsletter that provides valuable information to ensure success. Participants will receive show dates, deadline reminders, and poultry related information through the project newsletter and the SC 4-H Poultry Facebook page.

Note that 4-H poultry project opportunities and shows offered through local county 4-H programs may vary.
