MEMPHIS, Tenn. — They call themselves ‘chicken tenders.' And these kids are learning the ins and outs of how to raise chickens. Desoto County's 4-H Youth Development organization created the Chicken Chain program, to help children and teens learn responsibility by raising chickens. The kids then compete with others from across the state. 'So Chicken Chain is a program that's offered through 4-H. It's called chicken chain because it's a process,' said Kelsey Martin, 4-H Youth Development Agent with DeSoto County.
