Join in the fun and experience of raising and showing pullets as part of the South Florida Fair’s youth livestock program. The program engages youth in learning life skills while having fun raising chickens. Exhibitors should start chicks in a brooder (warm and protective environment) and move them into a coop as they get older. Exhibitors should also keep pullets safe from adverse weather events, pets and predators.

Pullet program ages are 8–18 years old. Age groups are: Junior: 8–11 years old; Intermediate: 12–14 years old; Senior: 15–18 years old. Ethics training and numbers are required for 8–18 year old exhibitors.

NOTE: This reservation is NOT the exhibitor’s entry to show/exhibit or sell pullets at the South Florida Fair.

ALL pullet Fair entries must be entered on-line via ShoWorks between September 3-30, 2026 until 11:59 p.m.

NO day-of and NO paper entries will be accepted at the Fair.
