## Resource

Heather McCormick stunned the crowd with her Coronation Sussex hen winning top honors at the North Canterbury Poultry Show, but this year’s event was bigger than ever—hosting the National Araucana Competition with 65 birds from across the country. With 670 entries total and a surge in young participants, the show proves bird breeding is thriving, fueled by lifestyle shifts and family passion. From Dunedin’s Grand Champion Stefanie Kalmakoff, who loves Araucanas for their quirky blue-green eggs and artistic feathers, to Heather’s daughter Chelsea winning best waterfowl, the future of this classic hobby looks bright and colorful.
