During his years as a breeder he has walked away with many prestigious prizes in this years Poultry Division at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

Mr Geering has been competing at this level for many years now, and took home Champion Barnevelder, an award he has won every year since 2006, and the award for Champion Bantam (Spanish) also went to Mr Geering.

"Those awards are basically 'best of' breeds," he explained.

Mr Geering was also honoured with the opportunity to be named as a judge for various poultry sectors, but was disappointed he could not compete in them.

"This was my debut as a Sydney Royal Judge," he said.

"It was a great opportunity, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself."

Mr Geering believes it was his commitment which set him apart from the other competitors, and ultimately led to his two winnings,

"Preparation has got a lot to do with it," he said.

He said dedication was the key to his success.

"The breeds I won with are regarded as rare breeds, but you've got to really put the effort in," he said.

"In order to get them competing at a particular standard."

Mr Geering explains his top tips when it comes to having the highest of poultry standards.

"From day one you make sure they get the best available feed, really half the job is breeding, and the other half is what is poured down their throat."

He acknowledges as a result of the drought, he did do it tough at times.

"We were really behind the 8 ball, here in Dubbo, because we had that long hot Summer, but then it rained and we got green grass, so we were able to compete with the birds."

Mr Geering says the recent rainfall significantly helped his birds compete at their winning level.

"When its hot they don't like to eat," he said. "So once it started raining their appetites picked up and we were able to get them out running on the green grass."

Mr Geering says since the rainfall he has noticed the difference it has made to his birds coat and sheen of feathers.

"Over the last two months, since February, the birds have really taken off." he said.

"Especially when they are on green grass, you can see it come through in their feathers."

In the end, Mr Geering says all his hard work paid off.
