With over 400 pens and around 700 birds on offer, KDPC Auctions are one of the biggest in the region.
* Please note that Fertile Eggs are only available in October auctions*
Our auctions are conducted by volunteer Club Members who give their time, expertise and energy to help run a successful event, they are only too happy to be of assistance to our patrons.
Pen bookings are essential.
Bookings for our March Auction are full, they filled within hours of it opening to the general public.
Bookings for our October auction will open to KDPC members: 27th of September, and on the 4th of October to general public.
Please be aware!
Our auctions are very popular, and the crowds can get big.
We are endeavoring to make changes to better the experience for buyers, including changes to the shed layout via council correspondence. For this auction we have implemented the following changes:
-1 way traffic - clockwise around the shed ONLY.
-$5 minimum bid increments to limit dragging out the bidding process.

Bidder registration is $2.00, the club has a limited number of cardboard boxes on sale for buyers to carry their purchases home in comfort, we advise to bring a suitable cage or carrier in case we sell out of boxes.
On entry to the shed all birds will be health checked and are to be presented in a healthy, disease-free state. The club reserves the right to refuse entry to any bird presented in an unacceptable condition. Young birds must be off heat and feathered.
