Once again this year, Chattooga County agricultural students will be having a poultry show and auction at the Chattooga County Ag Fair.

In April of 2022, FFA and 4-H members began their poultry projects specifically to participate in the Chattooga County Agricultural Fair.

The 2022 Chattooga County Poultry Project is showcasing two different breeds again this year; the hardy Red Star and the vigorous hybrid Black Star. Each of these breeds are noted for excellent brown egg production and dual-purpose use. Each student received 8 three day old chicks to raise, was required to keep records, and attend a workshop on how to select their best three for judging. The student’s selected birds will be judged on August 27th, at 4:00 pm. Pens of three hens will be auctioned off at 7:00 pm with all of the proceeds going to the student. Cages will be provided for you to take your chickens home in. Please arrive by 6:30 PM to receive a bid number.

Having a livestock project promotes responsibility, self motivation, responsible record keeping and agricultural education. Please come support our 4-H and FFA students of Chattooga County by purchasing their chickens!

​A special thank you to Mr. Yarbrough’s 8th grade Chattooga County’s FFA Basic Ag Class students who built cages for the buyers to take their chickens home in.
