Lots of exciting things have been happening for the students that are involved in the Young Farmers’ Poultry Club. A number of lunchtime meetings have been held and the students have had a first-hand look at the heritage and rare birds at school. Five of the birds will be entered in the 2018 RASV Poultry Show.
Recently Ebony Damen attended the Mountain District Poultry Club Show and Ebony won her category for silky bantams that she and her father Peter have bred at home. Inspired by her experiences in the Young Farmers’ Club, and more recently Agriculture classes, Ebony is now an enthusiastic chook breeder and we look forward to seeing more success for her in the future.
