4-H Egg-cellent Egg Contest kicks off in August 2025!

This State 4-H Program is for 4-H members participating with 4-H in their counties who own a flock of chickens that are currently laying eggs. Participants may submit up to 2 sets of half dozen (6) eggs, which will be judged for uniformity, exterior and interior quality.

All participants who successfully complete the project will receive a t-shirt and ribbon! (Either participation or placing ribbon).
