When we award scholarships to students drawing a bead on chicken careers, we're excited by their potential. University of Maryland Eastern Shore grad student Unishma Ghimire, for instance - she's researching how thermal conditioning early in chickens' lives can help them handle heat stress. Check out the university's account of her nifty, practical research at the link.

The Edward H. Ralph DCA Medal of Achievement, named after Ed Ralph, DCA's first full-time executive director, goes to a non-elected person for outstanding service on behalf of Delmarva’s chicken community. The award was presented this year to Tom Johnson, owner of Eastern Shore Forest Products.
Since 1956, Delmarva Chicken Association has recognized a person who has served the chicken industry and the community with distinction. This year, the J. Frank Gordy Delmarva Distinguished Citizen Award was presented to Mack McCary, a chicken grower in Frankford. Check out his story.
They represent the best of the chicken community. They work HARD, all hours; that's what it takes for their flocks to thrive. And now they're getting their flowers. These are the 2026 Outstanding Growers.
