Rule approved by the Pickaway County Senior Fair Board..2/14/09:

New policy for all chicken and turkey projects 

• Every chicken and turkey project, both market and breeding, must have a pollorum validation form.  This can be either:
• A form 9-3 from the hatchery stating it participates in a certified NPIP program or
• A form 9-2 from a certified pollorum tester stating they have tested your project and they are pollorum free.

Refer to the Pickaway County Fair website for examples of the forms: www.pickawaycountyfair.org

• If a 4-H or FFA club does a group buy of chickens and/or turkeys, the following steps must be followed to meet Ohio Poultry Association (OPA) and Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) requirements:
• 4-H/FFA Advisor must provide a copy of the hatchery 9-3 form to each member receiving chicks/turkeys from the order.
• 4-H/FFA Advisor must write a letter containing the member’s name and the number of chicks/turkeys received from the hatchery order.
• 4-H/FFA Advisor must maintain a copy of the hatchery 9-3 form and letter(s) given to the members for at least one year; in the event, the OPA and/or ODA need additional information.
• Every 4-H/FFA member must provide a copy of either a form 9-3 or a 9-2 and letter from 4-H/FFA Advisor (if a group buy) prior to entering the fairgrounds with their chicken or turkey project for the 2009 Pickaway County Fair.  This and the animal(s) must be presented at Gate B prior to entering the fairgrounds during one of the following time periods:
• Saturday, June 20, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. or
• Sunday, June 21, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

At check-in time, each 4-H and/or FFA member will be required to sign a liability waiver (example here) stating that they have not co-mingled their project with existing chickens/turkeys at their residence and they have adhered to proper biosecurity guidelines.  Refer to the following website for additional information:  USDA

No chicken and/or turkey projects will be permitted on the grounds or allowed to exhibit without adhering to the above policy.  No exceptions.

• This does not apply to ducks or geese (waterfowl).

New for the 2009 Pickaway County Fair,
