Backyard Chickens SAE

Jacol’bi Jones, a 10th grader from Georgia, raises 13 backyard chickens as part of his agricultural experience. He collects eggs and feeds them daily, overcoming challenges with space by using a dog pen for expansion. This journey teaches him time management, responsibility, and composting, with support from his advisor and grandparents. His passion for agriculture inspires him to join the FFA.
