Key Factors to a successful poultry project: * Keep clean, dry, and stirred litter (Champion broilers usually come from individuals that stir their litter 5-8 times/day)

* Never restrict ventilation. Birds need fresh air.

* Proper temperature is critical. Thermometer should be placed at the level of your birds.

* Keep constant supply of clean feed and water--day and night. Birds should have easy access to feed and water. Avoid competition between birds.

* Never bath your birds. Wipe down with a dry, soft cloth (optional). 1 Electrolytes may be administered for 4-5 days (optional). Never use for more than 10 days.

2 Antibiotics/medication should only be administered, if broilers are sick (sneezing/wheezing). Don=t Abuse.

3 Cull: small birds, birds with broken wings, twisted/crooked feet, sick birds. Culled birds should be placed in a separate feeding area.

4‐H Council is challenging Kleberg‐Kenedy 4‐H clubs to collect pull tabs from now until April 30th.  The club that collects the most pull tabs will receive a SURPRISE PARTY hosted by Council!  This ongoing community service will   

benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charity.   

4‐H clubs can turn in pull tabs to the Extension Office at anytime throughout the contest and we will keep them until the contest ends. 

The facts about pull tab donations: 

‐ For each pound of pull tabs, we receive approximately 50 cents. 

‐ There are 1267 pull tabs in a pound.
