Welcome to the web site of the Kingston and District Poultry and Pet Stock Association (the "KDPPSA")!

The KDPPSA is dedicated to promoting the breeding and exhibition of pure bred pigeons, chickens, waterfowl, rabbits, and cavies. We provide our members with the opportunity learn more through presentations and discussions at Club meetings, and host shows that allow our members to compare their stock with others' and to introduce newcomers to our hobby. We are an Affiliate Club of the American Poultry Association, the American Bantam Association, and the Canadian Pigeon Fancier's Association.

In recent years, interest in "heritage" breeds has increased, as the public has become more aware of their value in the long-term sustainability of agriculture. The continued existance of these breeds today is in large part due to "fanciers" like our members, who have long recognized the value of maintaining these pure breeds, both for their utility and their beauty.

KDPPSA Meetings

KDPPSA meetings are held the last Wednesday of each month between February and October. The meetings take place either online or in the Palace Building at the Odessa, Ontario, Fairground and begin at 7:30 PM. If you are interested in joining a meeting please contact us.

We encourage all current and prospective members to attend the meetings. They are a great opportunity to learn about raising and showing poultry and pet stock while helping to support the Club.

KDPPSA-Sponsored Shows

One of the main focus of KDPPSA activities is hosting two shows each year.

The annual KDPPSA Club Show is a one-day show which usually takes place on the first Sunday in June. Trophies and cash awards are presented by the club to selected class and overall champions.

The KDPPSA also organizes the Poultry Show at the Odessa Agricultural Society's annual Fall Fair. The fair show lasts for two days. The Odessa Agricultural Society provides cash awards for all prize winners.

Both shows take place at the poultry building at the Odessa Fairground, which the KDPPSA built and owns. Here are some images of the show hall during the 2014 Odessa Fair:

The 2024 KDPPSA Show will be on June 2nd 2024, at the Odessa Fairground:

This will be a Memorial Show for Dave Snider and a Tribute Show for Bill Harrison. The show will be sanctioned by the American Poultry Association, the American Bantam Association, and the Canadian Pigeon Fanciers' Association. We will will be hosting a National Call Duck Breeders of America meet. We hope that you will join us for the show, and to help us remember Dave and his many contributions to the Club and the hobby, and to celebrate Bill for all he has done for the Club over many years.

As the show is sanctioned by both organizations, the APA Show Rules and ABA Show Rules will also apply.
