Collapse ▲2024 Coastal Plains Chicken Project Registration is OPEN!
Not only are the beautiful, but they are hardy and productive layers. The 2024 Coastal Plains Chicken Project will offer the Silver Laced Wyandotte.
Silver Laced Wyandotte Chicken
The 2024 Coastal Plains Chicken Project is an opportunity for 4-H’ers to learn how to raise chickens while learning showmanship and record-keeping skills. Participants have the opportunity to choose between layers (Silver Laced Wyandottes) or broilers (meat birds). Those who raise broilers must return all birds to Extension staff at the end of the show. All layers may be kept. The project is open to active 4-H’ers (ages 5-18 as of January 1, 2024) and middle and high school FFA/agricultural education classes. Please note that this year there will be separate shows for FFA/ag and 4-H youth.
Each bird cost $5 and there is a minimum order of 2 birds of the same breed. Checks can be made out to N.C. Cooperative Extension – Onslow County Center. Please note “2024 Chicken Project” on the memo line of checks. Registration forms are attached below.
All first-time participants must attend an orientation and a showmanship/project record book training. Schools should schedule a time for training with Extension staff.
