A husband and wife poultry breeding couple are cock-a-hoop.

A trio of large black Orpingtons from Keith and Anne Chatburn, of Cononley, near Skipton, took top honours at the Craven Feather Auctions Spring Show and Sale at Skipton Auction Mart.

The birds won the large fowl class before going on to take the supreme championship.

Just a fortnight earlier, the Chatburns, who have been breeding hens for more than 40 years, had taken the best bird in show title at the North of England Championships in Clitheroe.
