In this 4-H special interest (SPIN) club, youth will learn about raising chickens with fun, hands-on activities each month. Topics include breeds, lifecycle, feed, care, and more. This is a great opportunity for youth who are interested in veterinary science, who are raising backyard chickens, or who just love animals. The group is led by poultry pro Beth Lohrey and experienced 4-H members.
