Whether you’re a seasoned poultry enthusiast or just looking for a fun family outing, mark your calendars for October 25th and join us in celebrating the future of agriculture at the 4-H Poultry Chick Chain Show and Auction.
Pre Registration for buyer is here.
The annual 4-H pullet sale takes place Saturday on October 25th. This is the best opportunity all year to buy the highest quality pullets (a term used to describe a female hen before she lays eggs). Pens are limited and quality is high. This year’s sale will feature Black Sex Links & Golden Comets! Register now as a buyer to get up-to-date information about the sale!
Description-The Annual Pullet Sale (Chick Chain) is a unique way for students to raise their own flock at home and learn about poultry in a hands-on experience. Participants attend a mandatory training seminar on “how to” raise blue ribbon pullets.
In October, students bring a pen of 6 of their best hens to compete. The pens of 6 are auctioned to the public with buyers taking possession of their birds at the conclusion of the sale. All hens are just beginning to lay or will soon after. If you are looking for high quality hens to produce farm fresh eggs, this is the only place to shop!
Eligibility– All are welcome! Preregistration as a buyer is encouraged.
Why-Looking to get the high quality egg layers, best farm eggs, and supporting hardworking youth!
Breeds- These breeds were specifically selected for their docile temperament and excellent egg production.
- Black Sex Links – A superior brown egg layer and popular 4-H breed making them a great choice for backyard and commercial brown egg production. This breed is a hybrid cross resulting in hybrid vigor for egg production and a sex-linked color pattern enabling the offspring to be easily sexed after hatching. Females are solid black with varied amounts of red neck lacing and males are barred black and white. This is a very docile breed with superior brown egg production.
- Golden Comets – A Golden Comet is a hybrid chicken known for its excellent egg-laying abilities, particularly large brown eggs. They are a cross between a New Hampshire Red or Rhode Island Red rooster and a White Plymouth Rock hen usually, depending on the hatchery.
