Hen breeder Katie Tisdell left the Sydney Royal Easter Show for the seventh year in a row with an armful of medals.

The 12-year-old was named champion in all four open poultry egg classes for her hens eggs and overall grand champion for her egg plate exhibit.

Her hard work has certainly paid off.

"We have to prepare months in advance so this is preparing nutrition and their balance of diet," Katie said.

"We feed them a mix of Drury's Stockfeeds and Showbird MP Breeder."

She also bagged first for her ancona hen, second with a langshan trio and third with an ancona trio.

Anconas have been in the Tisdell family for generations.

"This line of anconas has been in our family since 1964," Katie said.

Brimming with a wealth of knowledge, the budding egg judge took time at the show to pass on advice to fellow breeders and intrigued people.

"I was standing at the egg table and letting people come and ask me questions about how you judge an egg and what the perfect egg needs to be," Katie said.

"People were very surprised that I knew a lot."

Katie had an eggs-traordinary 2018, picking up the NSW, Queensland and national hen eggs championships.

But judging by the way she cares for her feathered children, Katie's passion for breeding outweighs the accolades.

Alongside her father Peter, Katie will judge the egg class at Taree-Wingham Poultry Club's annual show on June 9 at Taree Showground.
