Poultry

The Durham Fair Poultry exhibits may fool you! For those not familiar with this department, there is a lot more than just chickens, but of course, there are plenty of those, too, from the routine to the rare. And that includes chicks hatching right before your eyes. Geese, turkeys, ducks, and other waterfowl round out the Department’s live exhibits. But there are eggs, too! Come check out the largest, smallest, weirdest shape, most colorful, and heaviest.
