The long and colourful history of Coonamble Poultry Club

09/07/2026 by The Coonamble Times

The Coonamble Poultry Club traces its roots back to 4 October 1899 when it was originally formed as the Coonamble Poultry and Horticultural Club.

Since the re-formation in 1962 of the Poultry Club, has seen a great revival of interest in the poultry section of the Coonamble Show.

Coonamble’s Rev. Reeder, a breeder of exotic birds, was the first president.
