Poultry has a place in everyone's life, whether you're interested in them or not! You may eat eggs, or chicken, or you may sleep with pillows or duvets filled with poultry feathers. Manure you use on your garden may have come from poultry, and vegetables you eat may have been grown using poultry manure. You may go fly fishing using flies tied with poultry feathers and we all know about Easter eggs and the Kelloggs Cornflakes cockerel. Perhaps you're an Aylesbury United ('the Ducks'), Tottenham Hotspur ('Spurs'), Bradford City ('The Bantams'), or France football supporter - all of these teams play wearing poultry on their strips! You may watch cartoons with the famous Warner Brothers Cartoon character, 'Foghorn Leghorn', or read about the tales of Beatrix Potter's 'Jemima Puddleduck', or you may drink ale from 'Courage Breweries' who sport that lovely golden cock logo. And, who can forget that perennial joke, 'Why did the chicken cross the road?'. The Poultry Club of Great Britain is open to anyone, not just those who exhibit, breed, or keep poultry.

Poultry Postage Stamps Poultry features on postage stamps throughout the world! Featured here are two from Africa - one from Zambia, the other from the Republic of Kenya in 1964 - and one from the USA from 1948 which was used to celebrate the centennial of the poultry industry.

Ancient Importance! Poultry is of great historical importance, having provided valuable food and eggs throughout time. Many ancient tribal sketches and cave drawings show poultry as being celebrated or a sign of strength. But did you know that Britain gained its independence from Rome in 410AD because the Emperor of the time Flavious Honorius was far too interested in poultry?
