4-H Poultry Club meets

The Wingin’ It Poultry 4-H Club met March 11, 2024 at 5:40 at the Gilliam County Fairgrounds.

Leader Aubrey Gibson discussed the upcoming field trip to Spring Classic at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds in Redmond on April 27th. We also talked about dates to get turkeys and meat chickens for fair.

The last item of discussion was the Small Animal Clinic being held at the Gilliam County Fairgrounds on April 19th. Maggie Justice will be sharing her knowledge of chickens, turkeys, rabbits, and dogs. It should be a great clinic to attend.

We ended the meeting by playing an intense game of Poultry Term Bingo. It was a really fun way to learn a lot about all different types of poultry information. The next meeting will be held April 8, 2024 at 5:30 at the Gilliam County Fairgrounds.

I will leave you with another fowl piece of trivia: About 180 million eggs are bought each year in the U.S. for Easter. The largest chocolate Easter egg was made in Italy in 2007. It weighed 15,873 pounds and was 34 feet tall.
