Egg Show Judge: Heather Hayes Sponsored by Skeffling Lavender Farm An entry consists of at least 6 eggs, no more than 12, presented in an egg carton or small basket. Eggs are judged as to consistency of size, shape and colour. Eggs should be clean, free of flaws, showing colour and luster as per the breed/species, consistent in size, and correct size for the breed/species. An identification card will be filled in with the breed/species that laid the entry, plus Bantam or Standard size when applicable. Named Hybrids, ie Miss Pepperpots/Speckeldys, will be similarly labeled by name and Bantam or Standard. These cards will be with the entry for the judge to see during judging. There is no " Best Overall" award. The eggs will not be cracked open or weighed. Once judging is completed, the eggs may be picked up by the owner, however we ask that they are left on display for the public to enjoy and learn from. This is a great opportunity to educate the public in the great variety of egg colours and to bring interest to your favorite breeds. Business cards or other identifying cards may be placed on the entries after judging is completed. |
The entry fee is $2 per entry. Entries are made at the show, however, it would be appreciated if you let us know in advance if you plan to enter. You may make as many entries as you want. Come out and show off your ladies finest. This is an eggcellent advertising opportunity for increasing egg sales and farm exposure!
Judging will take place Saturday during the Poultry show.
Chicken, turkey, guinea, emu, quail all are welcome!
