Our club was established in 1869 as was the American Poultry Association here in Western New York. We have around 50 members that live all around Western New York. Our annual spring show is held at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg, NY the Sunday following Mothers Day.
Meetings are held on the last Tuesday of each month except December, January and February. During the summer we hold our anual lawn show at different members homes in which each member brings up to four birds to compete. We have a pot luck picnic after the judging, it's a nice get-together over the summer.
Benefits of membership include:
- Web pages on this site including unlimited classified adds free.
- Being able to show poultry and waterfowl at the Erie County Fair while living outside Erie County.
(See Erie County fair side notes below).
- Being a part of a very active club with monthly meetings, tours of each others poultry facilities and great spring show.
- Having a face to face contact with some of the top breeders and judges in the country.
Side notes on the Erie County Fair:
The Erie County Fair is the biggest County Fair in the United States. The poultry building alone has thousands of visitors everyday.
When you show your birds here they are kept in a clean environment, well cared for and seen by a
ton of people. It's a great way to get people interested in what you raise or sell.Winning at this county fair is also beneficial as it is sanctioned by the APA and ABA.
