4h project

What is the best age to show a Holland Lop rabbit? Like when are they at their best, most ideal condition and most likely to win?

We have tons of clubs around us focused on showing so a friend and I are starting one for homeschoolers that is not focused on showing animals (they still can, that’s just not the main point). I believe our official theme with the county is “healthy living” so we came up with gardening, meat...

I'm a bit worried and the reason is I am starting up at trade school this coming up school year and I am worried I will have problems keeping up with my 30 chickens 13 ducks 3 rabbits 3 quail so I am thinking about selling my flock I know what I can manage but I don't want to get in over my head...

In our strange new world of social distancing and toilet paper shortages, I want to know why there is NO shortage of pine shavings for poultry. Why hasn't some 13-year-old homeschooling genius figured out how to help the world go greener by making a 'recycled toilet paper alternative' with...

Hello. My son is looking to hatch some eggs. He is interested in the rainbow Dixie. however he also wants to show it in 4H, does this fall under all other Americans, or some other breed or is it already a cross bred?

I know that there are folks Far more advanced than we are at making homegrown ( backyard crosses) meat birds. The idea here is to have a place to document my DD's hatching and growing experience with our backyard mix birds and how she does taking them to our local county fair.

Why hello there! (This is my new discussion post, so feel free to drop a tip or two!) I'm raising 4 cx for meat this year in 4h. We are doing the market trio and the birds need to be in between 3.5 and 6 pounds for fair! I am only raising 4, because we aren't going to raising 185 chicks...

Hello BYC family! I went to 4H yesterday and my leaders assistant surprised me with three baby quail! I have wanted quail for a while now and asked her to hatch me some (she offered first) but I had never heard back from her so I had no clue I was getting them! What should I know about quail...

My son is in 4H and is wanting to show chickens. He really likes the polish breed so I'm looking for breeders close to Kansas. He wants the gold laced coloring. Does anybody here breed those with npip certification and if not in Kansas can you ship?

Hello! I need suggestions! My incubator is terrible! My eggs die at lockdown! WHAT INCUBATOR SHOULD I GET?? I need one soon because i'm doing a 4H project! This is my current (broken) Incubator:

I sadly have to get rid of my hen. I am willing to trade, or sell. i wanted a chick. i love in white lake, michigan. she has showing potential, but i have no idea what breed she is because i got her from a auction. Her name is alfredo, or lorretta. she is very friendly and is laying once a day.

Hello! I am an intern with my Cooperative Extension program this summer, and for my "project" I chose to incubate and raise chicks for some 4H kiddos to have projects. I had originally 8 dozen eggs because my AG Agent told me that the hatching/fertility rate wouldn't be high with a smaller...
