Chickens Eggs & Poultry
Feeding, Powering and Clothing a Hungry Nation
The results for our Ekka chickens are back, with judging taking place this morning. Our eggs, whilst not vast in number were quality shells with minimal evidence of stress on the parts of the chickens (who were obviously enjoying their holiday at the show) and warranted further investigation. We managed to have three of our class (also in show team) present for the judging of the three categories, which took forever (we got sore feet) but was rather interesting to watch. The special machine they used to measure the egg and score them was fantastic to see and the judges for each section were more than happy to talk through what they were doing and how it all worked. Whilst we didn't come away with any ribbons, we did learn a lot from the experience. And we'd definitely recommend it for the future. (And we've noted a few things for the competition of 2019, just in case!)
