Marengo teen wins 4-H Golden Egg Contest

Kadie Allen Riley, 14, has won the 2020 4-H Golden Egg Contest for the state of Alabama. 

Along with Alabama 4-H members from across the state, the Gallion teenager, daughter of Robert and Pam Riley, submitted her best dozen eggs from her backyard flock for judging.

Her eggs were judged at Auburn University by poultry specialists based on external and internal quality.

Using the Alabama 4-H Golden Egg educational videos on YouTube to learn how to determine the best eggs to enter, Kadie Allen evaluated her eggs by observing, candling and weighing them.

For being named top in the state, she received a huge ribbon, autographed book, yard sign, 500 pounds of chicken feed and an interview on the Chicken Whisperer radio show as her reward.
