4-H Poultry Project Announcement: If you are planning to exhibit poultry or ducks at the Clinton County Fair each bird needs to be tested for pullorum and avian influenza, as well as receive a numbered leg band for identification purposes. The testing must be done by a Certified Poultry Technician (CPT). Bob and Gwen Bechdel are CPTs and will provide the testing services for the 4-H members showing poultry exhibits at the Clinton County Fairgrounds in the Small Animal Barn on Friday, July 2, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm and again on Saturday, July 3, from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. Your patience is requested as everyone will be tested on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are not able to make the times listed above, please contact Bob or Gwen Bechdel at 570-726-7675 to make arrangements for another time to test your poultry.
IF YOU ARE EXHIBITING DUCKS YOU MUST CONTACT THE BECHDELS AT 570-726-7675 IMMEDIATELY SO THAT THE TESTING SUPPLIES CAN BE ORDERED.
When you arrive for the testing procedure, it is important that you have your YELLOW small animal entry form filled out with the breed/birth date/class code and class description. It is not necessary to have a name for each of your entries. The class codes are listed on the back of the form, with the class description next to the numbers. This will not be done for you at the time of testing. Also, please have the top portion of the form completed.
In addition, there will be a Poultry Showmanship Workshop at the Bechdels’ home (231 Gray Fox Road, Mill Hall) on July 14 at 6:30 pm. For those interested please contact the Bechdels at the number above.
