Clarke County 4-H Chick Chain Project Deadline This Friday!
The Clarke County 4-H Club is once again offering youth the opportunity to take part in the 4-H Chick Chain project. In the Chick Chain project, youth will receive 18 one day old chicks in early May and take them home to raise for about 24 weeks. They will then bring three of their best chickens to the Chick Chain Show and Auction at the Clarke/Washington Fair in October. Participants will exhibit their three chickens and be eligible for prizes. At the conclusion of the show the prize birds will be auctioned off to the public interested in having young ready to lay hens. Registration for the project is $60.00. Youth ages 9 to 19 are eligible to participate. You must register for this program with the Extension Office by March 18, 2022. Please contact the Clarke County Extension Office at 251-275-3121 for a registration form. For more information or questions about the project, contact Wendy Padgett @ 251-533-7507 or Kevan Tucker @ 334-534-2539.
