DUCKS, chickens, geese and turkeys ruled the roost at Wangaratta Showgrounds on Sunday May 19, as Wangaratta Poultry Club held its 50th annual show.
The Greg Vonarx Poultry Pavilion was near full with 415 entries from across the North East and Southern NSW seeking to impress with distinct structural features and colouration.
Club founding member Bill Harvey said the quality of the feathered entrants was impressive, with his Old English Game bantams rousing more than a glance from interested onlookers.
"It's great to see the interest in poultry breeds remains strong locally," he said.
"Our club, which was started by Barry Adams in the early 1970s, has only missed hosting one annual show, due to COVID.
