00:00I'm part of the Crash Edge Poultry Club. I love chicken.
00:17My friends probably describe me as different.
00:21My wife says that I love them more than her.
00:24Do you want to go in a pen with a heater on it, eh?
00:28The bird knows when it's a good looking chicken, you know.
00:36All the birds are judged to the New Zealand poultry standard.
00:40Poultry show is very competitive.
00:43I just love winning. You're the centre of attention. It's awesome.
00:49The Crash Edge Poultry Club has been going for 148 years.
00:59Where am I up to?
01:07I think ducks should be replaced.
01:09And they're going to try and overthrow me.
01:11Get off your butts and do it.
01:13Are you trying to always get up your pecking order?
01:18Unless we change and modernise, we're not going to be here in 20 years time.
01:23There is a split in the club.
01:25He wanted to be the kingpin at the national show.
01:28People don't like being beaten.
01:30Because of the politics going on in the club, we are concerned that some birds might be poisoned.
01:46Best bird in show in a national. That's my ultimate goal.
01:50This is what they're looking for, is the complete package.
01:57It's not rocket science really, is it?
01:59You'll end up a pot roaster, probably.
02:11It's the end of the Crash Edge Poultry Club.
02:14You beat me!
02:15When you're at the top, there's always someone knocking you off the perch.
02:18It's really exciting, isn't it?
02:22It was not easy, you know, being a joke fancier.
