In this episode of Fields of Knowledge, we sit down with the Evans girls to talk all things poultry and the real-world skills they’re building through their project. From raising and butchering 280 meat birds to managing a flock of 65 laying hens, these young producers share what it takes to run a large-scale youth poultry operation.
We dive into daily flock management, processing logistics, lessons learned along the way, and how this project has helped them grow in responsibility, work ethic, and agricultural knowledge. This conversation highlights the power of hands-on learning and showcases how youth agriculture projects turn curiosity into confidence—and hard work into meaningful outcomes.
