4-H Chick Chain

By Savannah Gambel,

Extension Agent

The UT Extension in Lewis County is excited to offer students 4th through 12th grade the opportunity to participate in the 2021 Chick Chain.

Chick Chain is a fun, hands-on way to teach youth the responsibility of raising chicks. After five months of raising chicks, youth will be required to bring six of their best pullets to the fair to participate in the show and/or auction. At the show the top pullets will be recognized and rewarded.

This year’s Chick Chain chicken is the Barred Rock, also known as the friendly chicken, who is great at producing both meat and eggs.

For more information, and to order your chicks contact the UT Extension at 931-796-3091. The deadline to order and pay for chicks is February 25.
