Want a way for your children to learn responsibility through caring for animals? Then join the 4-H Chick Chain! The 4-H Chick Chain 
is a program where youth pick two breeds of chickens to raise from one day old. They care for 10 birds (five from each breed) for about 23 weeks then bring their best two birds to the 4-H Chick Chain Show. In its third year in the Florida panhandle, the 4-H Chick Chain has been one of our most successful 4-H programs.
Breeds to select from include: Cochin, Cuckoo Maran, Rhode Island Red, Speckled Sussex, White Leghorn and Buff Orpington.
Along the way, 4-H will teach you all you need to know about feed and nutrition, housing and showmanship.
