Chickens Eggs & Poultry
Feeding, Powering and Clothing a Hungry Nation
Friday August 10 saw us all rather excited with a trip to then EKKA planned - a great day out! This is where the country meets the city with a blend of different things on display & on show. It was also the conclusion of beef week with some rather large beasts on display both in pens and out in the main arena on show. We also had the opportunity to visit our school chickens who are competing in the 'Hyline Brown Schools Egg Laying Competition'. There were LOTS of chickens on display, and it seems the competition has been quite popular! The beef on display were HUGE and most of our crew were somewhat blown away by the size, especially by comparison to the diminutive size of our Archi-cow. They were warned but were not really fully prepared for exactly how big beef cattle can be.
