layer trio Project Silent Auction

Welcome to the UF/IFAS Extension Martin County 4-H Layer Trio Silent Auction!

Golden Star Sex Link

This silent auction is to benefit Martin County 4-H members who have cared diligently for their pullets over the last 7 months. Gold Stars were developed in the 1950's by crossing a Rhode Island Red male with a Rhode Island White female for efficient brown egg production and ease of sexing. Male Gold Stars chicks are light yellow without any red, while the females have varying amount of red down. This slight difference in down color allows the hatchery to easily sex these chicks at day of hatch. Adult males are solid white and have a body type similar to a Rhode Island Red. Adult female have a very light red body appearance with white tails, wing tips, hackles and body undercover. Golden Star hens lay an average of 280 eggs a year.

The auction is live now and will end on Saturday, February 21 at 5pm. The high bidders will be contacted on February 23 and will be able to pick up their tree(s) on or after Monday, February 23 from the UF/IFAS Extension Office located at the north end of the Martin County Fairgrounds. Payment for the pullets will be cash and all money collected will go directly to the youth who raised the pullets.
