The champion bird of the show was a dark Plymouth Rock pullet owned by Yvette Frans from Bairnsdale, Victoria.
The champion bantam was owned by Margaret and Peter Blake from Benalla, Victoria.
The champion any other colour bird was won by Neville and Gabriel Gasgow from Crows Nest, Queensland.
“All the major prize winners returned home with a wonderful cheese pack donated by Bega Cheese among many other wonderful prizes,” Mr Ubrihien said.
The show was open to the public and those who attended were able to see a huge variety of colours never seen in the Bega Valley before.
