HOW FUNKY IN YOUR

CHICKEN?

SHOW BIRDS

I know we have several 4-H families that have backyard birds. 4-
H'ers do have the opportunity to show them.

We have added a Show Bird poultry show back to our Lonesome
Dove Project show at the end of April, in an effort to help our 4-H
families prepare for the County Livestock Show.

We also have an informational scheduled for Thursday, March 16th
@6PM here at the Extension office to with special guest speaker
Michele Burns.

It is important that you get your flock Pullorium Typhoid tested if
you plan to exhibit your poultry, this is required by the Texas
Animal Health Commission. Please don't be deterred by having to
have your birds tested. It's low cost, and they come to you. The
two testers listed below, i know personally, and they are very
passionate about show birds and love the opportunity to share
their knowledge with youth.

If you think there's even a chance you'd be interested in showing,
get a test scheduled.
