Gulargambone chicken breeding prodigies, Three Sisters Poultry, are taking regional shows by storm, after taking home ribbons in Coonamble, Warren and Dubbo shows.
What is even more surprising is six year old Olivia Wass, four year old Hadleigh and two year old Rhylee have only taken up chicken showing this year.
And with only four regional town shows into their ‘Three Sisters Poultry’ careers, the girls are already reeling in the ribbons.
They debuted their project at the Dubbo agricultural show on Friday 22 to Sunday 24 May.
The girls showed off 11 chooks to the judges, and took home six first place ribbons, a second and a third.
Two days later on 26 May the girls carted the chooks to their local show, in Coonamble.
The Three Sisters Poultry team ultimately won the Junior Champion Award, their biggest win yet.
“They took 11 chickens to the show with 7 of them winning ribbons and placings across the classes, junior classes which they only entered 4 in and the rest into the open classes,” the girl’s mother, Brooke Wass said.
“They had great success with their backyard hen winning prettiest hen and overall backyard bird.
“Their biggest highlight being their white Wyandotte bantam cockerel winning Junior Soft Feather Cockerel, Junior Overall Cockerel and Junior Champion Exhibit.”
On Saturday 6 June the girls then took their pets to the Warren Show.
They went home with the reserve Junior Champion award after winning five first place ribbons and three second.
Ms Wass said Olivia, Hadleigh and Rhylee are “hooked” on their hobby.
“They cannot wait till the next Show.”
Ms Wass said her daughters are “very busy” with the behind the scenes work.
“They do as much of the show prep as they physically can from the bathing and drying, feeding, watering, general care and prep.
“They definitely are passionate about it.”
Initially Three Sisters Poultry began as a “side quest,” according to Ms Wass.
The girls care for wyandottes, welsummers, silkies, eggers and Muscovy ducks.
“We originally just brought them some Wyandotte chickens to breed and collect eggs from but since then they have sold farm fresh eating eggs, hatched chicks and have grown quite a bit in their poultry journey over the last few years.
“So to have the 3 girls so hands on and excited about showing chickens and their prep really shows their dedication.”
The Three Sisters Poultry are hoping to attend the Coonamble Poultry Club show and also Dubbo Poultry Club later this year.
Until then, the poultry prodigies will be busy in the coop, readying the chooks for their next success.
