This year’s Chicken Day is Saturday 14th September 2024, so put the date in your diary and get your entries ready for the big day. 

We are going to have live Chickens in attendance again this year and there will be lots of other opportunities for crazy things to happen.

All chicken owners will need to be registered and adhere to APHA rules with regard to disease biosecurity.  Please email  elkcal@hotmail.co.uk if you need more information.
