Yes! Typically, poultry that is healthy and of good quality are fine to show in 4-H! Exhibitors will bring all kinds of birds from hatchery, feed store, backyard, breeders, and those they have hatched themselves! You will see a range of poultry brought to 4-H. Chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea fowl, and quail are all poultry you’ll likely see here!
We encourage kids to bring their best birds to shows. However, pigeons are the only poultry not accepted because they are part of their own specific project in Pima County.
