Youth Poultry 101

Pre-registration is required

Who should attend?

This program is designed for all youth 13 years of age and older and adults who enjoy teaching youth about poultry. This is NOT an adult Small Flock Program; it is intended for youth and leaders working with youth programs. It is designed as a next step for the older more advanced youth, and this is the reason that no youth under 13 years of age will be accepted. We have asked the presenters to include advanced topics in their presentations and plan to allow hands-on learning as much as possible.

Why attend?

Sessions will be conducted by Penn State poultry faculty and other experts. This year's program will cover the following areas:

• Disease concerns
• Nutrition
• Incubation
• Breeding
• Preparing poultry for shows
• Selecting production hens and oral reasons
• College and career information

Where

The program will be held at the University Park campus in State College. Most of the program will be in the Agricultural Sciences & Industries (ASI) Building. However, the afternoon program will reconvene at the Poultry Education and Research Center. Due to Bio-security issues, if you have been around poultry prior to coming to this conference, please shower and change into clean clothes before leaving home.

No registration will be accepted without payment or after April 16. Cancellations received prior to April 16 will be eligible for a full refund, but no refunds will be given after that date.
