Pima County Poultry Project Update

The Fur and Feather Show was a huge success with 128 youth participating in showmanship, and every auction bird finding a new home—thank you to Allen Weatherbee for running it so smoothly! Novice members received hats, while others earned garment bags.

Our latest clinic, hosted by Nutrena, was both fun and educational—covering poultry digestion, nutrition, and feed types. Attendees even won feed bags in a raffle! Next clinic: March 21.
