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 are held monthly between January and November. 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.

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 2026 KDPPSA Show was held on June 7th, 2026. The show was American Poultry Association and American Bantam Association sanctioned and Canadian Pigeon Fanciers' Association affiliated. We were very pleased this year to host the Ontario APA Provincial Meet.

The judges for the show were Jamie Carson and Ryan Ward.

The 2026 Odessa Fair poultry show took place on July 25th and 26th. Thanks to all who participated.

The fall Qunite Auction will be held on Sept 27th at the Napanee Fairgrounds. Doors open at 7:00 and the sale starts at 9:30. Full information and rules can be found on the Quinte Auction Facebook Page.
