Now Taking Orders for Processed Chickens and Turkeys
We are excited to be able to offer procesed whole chickens and turkeys this year. The chickens and turkeys sold have been raised by our very own chicken and turkey exhibitors and are ready for your freezer. All proceeds raised will be split between all market chicken and turkey exhibitors once the processing expense has been covered. We are asking for a minimum donation of $10 per chicken and $20 per turkey. Cash or check will be accepted. Checks will need to be made out to the Paulding County Agricultural Society. Chickens will be availalble between the hours of 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Friday, June 14th and 8:00 am to Noon on Saturday, June 15th. The location for pick-up will be behind the Senior Fairboard office.
We are expecting to have 150 Chickens and 54 Turkeys. These will be on a first ordered, first to guarantee basis. If our orders total more than what we have available, we will add your name to our wait list. If you end up on the wait list, we will contact you to let you know.

Paulding County Fair Drug Use Notification Form (DUNF) Information
The 2024 Paulding County Fair is less than 1 week away. We have a lot going on this time of the year and need to be sure that this very important task is added to the list. An e-mail was sent to all 4-H members who are registered to bring an animal to the fair with information regarding the Drug Use Notification Form (DUNF). As a reminder, the Paulding County Fairboards require that all animals that are on the fairgrounds, minus dogs, must have a DUNF complete prior to the arrival of the animals on the fairgrounds. For those who have completed a DUNF in the past, nothing has changed.
- What is a DUNF?
- The DUNF is a legal document that is required to be completed by ODA for market animals. The Paulding County Fairboards require that it is completed for all animals that will be staying at our fair. This form is used by exhibitors to indicate if medication is currently in an animal’s system that it has not been withdrawn from. Rules state that all market animals must be free of medication before they can be exhibited at a fair.
- Do I need a DUNF for every animal that I am bringing to the fair?
- Yes. All animals must have a separate DUNF, with the exception of market chickens. 1 DUNF per pen is all that is needed for the chicken meat pens.
- What do I need to have so I can fill out a DUNF?
- The link, which can be found below.
- First Name of Exhibitor
- Last Name of Exhibitor
- Address of Exhibitor
- E-mail address of Exhibitor or Parent
- Phone Number of Exhibitor or Parent
- Current Age of Exhibitor
- Identification Number
- Full 840 number for market animals that have a tag in the ear
- Scrapie Tag or tattoo number for all exhibition/breeding goats and sheep
- Tattoo number for all rabbits
- For turkeys, use Tom 1, Tom 2, Pen 1, Pen 2 etc.
- For market chickens, use meat pen 1, meat pen 2
- For exhibition birds, use the name of your bird
- Use Names for Horses
- Species of your animal
- Breed, sex, and color of the animal
- Is your animal free of medication?
- As stated above, all market animals should be free of medication. This means the withdrawl period has passed for any medication you may have given your animal. You will only check No if there is a medication that the withdrawl has not passed. If this is the case, you will need to complete questions about the medication.
- Signature of Exhibitor
- Signature of Parent/Guardian (unless the exhibitor is 18 or older)
- I completed the DUNF, what do I need to bring for proof?
- You will not need to bring anything. We have the ability to look up your DUNF information since it is done online.
- What if I gave medication but do not want to list it?
- Lying on a DUNF form is a felony in the State of Ohio. Exhibitors and/or Parents/Guardians may be fined, jailed, or both as well as banned from exhibition in the future.
- When should I complete my DUNF(s)
- Best practice is for you to complete your DUNF the morning of move-in but before you arrive to the fairground. The DUNF is open now so it can be done any time before you arrive with your animal(s).
