More than 550 waterfowl, including ducks and geese, and 450 other fowl, including chickens and turkeys, were on display at the Shepparton Showgrounds on Sunday, June 25.
Organiser Anne Beaty said the event exceeded expectations.
“It really was a fabulous day, well attended,” Ms Beaty said.
“There were so many members who came along to support the show, and especially the kids, the ducks seemed to be a big hit with them.”
