Poultry Bowl is a ?Äúquiz bowl?Äù competition where all questions deal with Poultry topics. Teams of four to six members compete with each other in giving oral answers to questions posed by a moderator. Questions are on topics such as breeds, eggs, feather features, health, feeding, handling, washing, managing a flock, ethics, and showing. Teams receive points for correct answers and may lose points for incorrect answers. The team with the highest final score is the winner.
