Birds of a Different Feather Poultry Club

Youth of all walks of life (urban and rural) are involved in the 4-H poultry program. The 4-H poultry projects are some of the most popular 4-H programs in Pennsylvania. Project work is the backbone of the 4-H poultry program. Project areas are offered to youth 8 to 18 years old. Subjects include embryology, raising and rearing poultry, and poultry and egg consumer projects. These projects are what motivate youth to learn teamwork, develop interpersonal skills, build enthusiasm and enjoy challenges.

The 4-H Poultry experience also provides a variety of educational events as well as team and individual competitions. Decision-making, communication and interpersonal skills are enhanced through project learning, practice and teaching activities. Project support materials provide technical background information that the 4-H member can use in poultry and egg cookery presentation contests, showing, judging contests, quiz bowls and other events.
