Market Poultry Orders

Here in Wayne County we are lucky to have two great businesses that support our  4-H program by making poultry ordering easy and smooth!  Centerra of Wooster distributes meat turkeys, meat ducks, and meat chickens out of their retail store.  Centerra duck orders are due on July 1 with pick-up on July 16, and chick orders are due on July 14 with pick-up on July 23. See the links below to access the Centerra order forms.

Gerber Poultry is very generous and supplies our 4-H  program with donated market chickens at a discount rate. Please place your chick order no later than July 1.  See the link below to place your order online!  Gerber Chick pick up will be July 21st at 11:00 am at the Junior Fair Office at the Wayne County Fairgrounds.

As always, poultry exhibitors are welcome to purchase market birds from any NPIP hatchery as long as they follow the hatch dates provided in the 2020 guidelines.
