What an excellent result our beautiful hens achieved at the Royal Melbourne Show. Our hens received a first place for their amazing egg production. They were judged on the egg size, shell colour, shell appearance and yolk colour.
A big congratulations to the grade 5/6 classes who cared for the chickens and got them to show quality.
