NC Cooperative Extension, Currituck County Center is hosting a 4-H Domestic Poultry Show on October 7, 2023 in conjunction with the Currituck Planes and Plows Festival. The show is open to youth ages 5-18. There will not be any specific breed classes, but we will have three different divisions: Standard Laying hens, Bantam hens, and Roosters. Youth can show one bird in each division. There will be a registration fee of $5 per participant. To register for the 4-H Domestic Poultry Show, visit 20234Hpoultryshow.eventbrite.com.
