Transcript

00:00I'm part of the Christchurch Poultry Club, and I love chickens.

00:26My friends probably describe me as different.

00:31My wife says that I love them more than her.

00:33Do you want to go in a pen with a heater on it, eh?

00:41The bird knows when it's a good-looking chicken, you know.

00:44All the birds are judged to the New Zealand Poultry standard.

00:48Poultry show is very competitive.

00:51I just love winning. You're the centre of attention.

00:56Awesome.

01:01The Christchurch Poultry Club has been going for 148 years.

01:06Where am I up to?

01:08I think ducks should be replaced.

01:15And they're going to try and overthrow me.

01:18Well, get off your butts and do it.

01:21Are you trying to always get up your pecking order?

01:24Unless we change and modernise, we're not going to be here in 20 years' time.

01:30There is a split in the club.

01:31He wanted to be the kingpin at the national show.

01:34People don't like being beaten.

01:36Because of the politics going on in the club, we are concerned that some birds might be poisoned.

01:42Best bird in the show international. That's my ultimate goal.

01:54This is what they're looking for, is the complete package.

01:57It's not rocket science really, is it?

02:02You'll end up a pot roaster, probably.

02:07It's the end of the Christchurch Poultry Club.

02:18You beat me!

02:19When you're at the top, there's always someone knocking you off the perch.

02:22It's really exciting, isn't it?

02:23It was not easy, you know, being a joke fancier.
