00:00I'm part of the Crash Edge Poultry Club. I love chickens. My friends probably
00:18describe me as different. My wife says that I love them more than her. Do you
00:24want to go in a pen with a heater on it, eh? The bird knows when it's a good-looking chicken,
00:33you know. All the birds are judged to the New Zealand
00:36poultry standard. We'll go with them mate. Poultry show is very competitive. I just love
00:42winning. You're the centre of attention. It's awesome. The Christchurch Poultry Club has been
00:53going for 148 years. Where am I up to? I think ducks should be replaced and they're
01:06going to try and overthrow me. Well, get off your butts and do it. Are you trying to always
01:13get up your pecking order? Unless we change and modernise, we're not going to be here in
01:1720 years time. There is a split in the club. He wanted to be the kingpin at the national
01:24show. People don't like being beaten. Because of the politics going on in the club, we are
01:30concerned that some birds might be poisoned. Best bird in show international. That's my
01:44ultimate goal. This is what they're looking for, is the complete package. That's not rocket
01:52science really, is it? You end up a pot roaster probably. Yes! It's the end of the Christchurch
02:08Poultry Club. You beat me! When you're at the top, there's always someone knocking you off
02:12the perch. That's really exciting, isn't it? It was not easy, you know, being a chook fancier.
