The Livestock, Family and Consumer Science, and 4-H programs teamed up to offer a comprehensive poultry program that culminates on Saturday, September 16 at 9:00 a.m. with a Poultry Processing Educational Learn by doing day. As a part of our Eggs to Legs Poultry program, 4-H families incubated broiler breed hens (donated by Pilgrim's) and successfully hatched 39 birds. The 4-Hers, ages 5 to 18, learned to show the birds last month and will compete in the Lee Regional Fair Poultry Show on September 15th at 6:00 p.m. You are invited to come observe these 4-Hers show what they have learned since picking up eggs and incubators on June 21st. You are also invited to come to 2420 Tramway Road on September 16th at 9:00 a.m. to observe a demonstration of the mobile poultry processing unit. Hands-on opportunities are reserved first for families who participated in all parts of the Eggs to Legs Program. If you are interested in also helping in a hands-on manner, please register so we know who to expect. Individuals who wish to process birds with us must arrive by 9:00 a.m. for the training session. If you want to come and observe only, you should drop by anytime between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m.
