A young boy pets a chicken.

The Regional Chicken Project is an opportunity for youth in FFA and 4-H in the Southeastern Region to learn more about the livestock industry. Through this project, youth will get to choose hens or broiler chicks to purchase at a discounted rate.

The birds will be raised and youth will complete a Project Record Book to chronicle their care and knowledge learned about chickens. In May, the youth will participate in the Southeast Chicken Show, where they will demonstrate to the judge their knowledge of the bird.

Training for this will be provided through workshops. At the end of the project, the youth will have the opportunity to keep the hens to lay eggs for a potential egg business, sold for profit, or they can be used in future 4-H programs. Broilers will be returned to the project after the show.

For more questions on how to enroll into the Chicken Project, please contact our office at (910)862-4591


4-H age is based on the youth’s age as of January 1 of the current year.

Cloverbud – 5 to 7 years old

Junior – 8 to 10 years old

Intermediate – 11 to 13 years old

Senior – 14 to 18 years old

*All youth will compete in one of the above age categories for showmanship regardless if participating as 4-H or FFA.
