HOW DID YOU BECOME INTERESTED IN CHOOKS?

I was reading a book about chooks in the school Library and became interested in getting some.  I went to my first show at Devonport and met Mr & Mrs Brown and also Liz Hardy! They encouraged me to start up.

WHAT DO YO ENJOY MOST ABOUT SHOWING POULTRY? 

I like meeting new people, looking at all the different types of breeds and asking about them.  I like breeding and hatching my own Chooks, meeting the judges and catching up with people.  I really enjoy Showing!

HAS ANYONE BEEN A MENTOR FOR YOU? 

I’ve got a lot of help and advice from Tim Polley and David Holden.
