Fairfax County 4-H'ers did quite well at the Virginia Poultry Judging Competition on April 26 in Rockingham County receiving 4th and 1st place junior team awards.  Throughout the month of April, participants learned about grading eggs and meat, identification of parts, and handling hens to determine which ones are better egg producers. They demonstrated their knowledge at the competition and got to participate in a fun and educational poultry carnival while they waited for the competition results.
