Top honours and top price for Old English Game trio
The Country Smallholder
|February 2025
A trio of home-bred Pyle Old English Game bantams from regular Co. Durham exhibitor Andrew Addison was the standout entry and reached one of the mart's highest poultry prices ever when they dazzled at CCM Skipton's Craven Feather Auctions Christmas show and sale.

The highlight itself boasted a bumper entry of 485 poultry and waterfowl; the largest number by a country mile since sales re-started post-bird flu.
The smart trio caught the eye of Garstang-based judge Tony Coates, a renowned national judge as well as an Old English Game breeder with several best-in-show and champion titles under his belt this year. Tony is no stranger to the Skipton mart though this occasion was his first in an official capacity.
