On Friday, April 15, five Fannin County 4-H’ers competed in the 2016 Area 4-H Poultry Judging Contest in Crawford, Georgia.

During the contest, participants judged both live specimens and market poultry, identified parts of birds already prepared for market, evaluated eggs as to their quality and readiness for market. Contestants ranked a class of White Leghorn production hens based on past egg production and gave oral reasons supporting their placement.
