I have two boys interested in showing in 4-H. They are not currently IN 4-H but I plan to get them involved. I know my fondest memories growing up were being involved with it.
So, I'm getting a new flock of chicks from Ideal next month...I'm wondering if the boys can show them, just for the fun and experience? Or is there something against hatchery birds? What's required if you decide to show poultry? (again, just for the fun and experience) Paperwork, vaccinations?
I know nothing about showing poultry....all I know is walking through teh county fair barns and seeing them in their cages. The boys are at an age where they could be easily influenced...(bad behavior), and I think 4-H kept me honest...and I joined about the same age they are now.
Thanks!
