Poultry Show
The poultry pavilion has always been a favorite of show goers. While it’s been quite a while now since most backyards had a chook run our interest in our feathered friends seems not to wane. From the exotic Silkie to the more familiar black Australorps in the chickens to ducks and pigeons they are all competing for the top awards at the show.
Poultry Showing
in Coonamble
Poultry shows in Australia have a long history, with the first shows held in the early 1900s.
Coonamble's own Poultry and Horticulture Club was formed in 1899 and is believed to have been responsible for the initial construction of the Poultry Pavilion at the Coonamble Showgrounds in the early 20th century. Since then the building has been updated and has the capacity to house ??? birds.
Although there maybe fewer of them within local town limits these days the dedication and knowledge of their owners has not diminished. As one of the few livestock that can be kept in a backyard, they provide a unique insight, especially for town families, into the husbandry required for livestock production.
The poultry pavilion at the Coonamble Show has always been a popular attraction for visitors. It provides not only a place for visitors to see and talk to exhibitors about a variety of birds, including chickens, ducks, and pigeons. It also offers exhibitors a place to connect with like-minded poultry enthusiasts and showcase their high quality birds.
