Entrepreneurially minded kids may benefit from involvement with the APA-ABA Youth Poultry Club. Club members are required to learn about breeds, history, husbandry, candling and hatching, and health and medications.

(The profit motive is a powerful incentive for some students.) They also keep notebooks and health-maintenance records for their flocks.
