4-H Egg-cellent Egg Contest kicks off in August 2025. This comprehensive program will last through September 2025.
This program is for 4-H members in participating counties with 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.
Training participation via Zoom and other supplemental submissions will be required to complete the program. 4-Hers will learn more about egg production and compete against other members in the participating region. All participants that successfully complete the project will receive a t-shirt and ribbon (either participation or placing ribbon).
Any youth in North Carolina that is enrolled in 4-H Online is eligible to participate.
Contact your local county Extension center if you have any questions.
