Participants in the 4-H Chick Chain receive either 12 or 25 baby chicks in the spring. They are required to house, feed, and care for them properly. In September, they bring some of their pullets to the Poultry Show and Sale. These pullets are then judged and auctioned. The remaining pullets are the 4-H member’s to keep. Besides prize money and ribbons that are awarded based on the quality of the pullets, 4-H members gain important skills from having the responsibility of caring for their animals.
