Collapse ▲2024 4-H Rabbit Project
The 2024 North Central District 4-H Poultry and Rabbit Show will be held the first Saturday in May at the Forsyth County Agricultural Building, 1450 Fairchild Road Winston-Salem, NC 27105. The show is for youth ages 5-18 (as of 1/1/2024).
Youth ages 5-18 that wish to show their own rabbit should register and learn more here before March 8 and pay your $5 registration fee to their county Cooperative Extension Center. There will be an optional rabbit showmanship workshop on Saturday, March 9. In addition to showing their rabbit, youth ages 8-18 should also complete a 4-H Project Record Book.
Registration is now closed.
4-H Poultry Project
Youth ages 5-18 that wish to show birds at this show, should:
- Register and pay a $25 registration fee by September 8. Youth will receive 5 chicks that “should” all be hens. Chicks will be vaccinated for Mareks Disease.
- Chicks can be picked up at your County Extension Center on November 6 (IF the USPS delivers on time). Participants should also submit a 4-H Project Record book on their project by April 19 in order to be eligible to compete on the morning of May 4.
Poultry Registration (now closed)
To see a bit of what a 4-H youth show typically entails, you can watch this video from Rowan County. This video from Penn State Extension is a good educational resource on showmanship. You may access additional showmanship tips, slides, and information Online via GoogleDrive.
