At the Society for the Preservation of Poultry Antiquities table you will meet Barbara Rosholdt her organization was Founded in 1967 to protect and preserve the old and rare breeds of poultry through breeding, exhibition, and outreach.
The world’s desire for rapid development and over abundant egg laying has resulted in a severe loss of genetic diversity in our cherished poultry breeds. Without dedicated and passionate individuals preserving these genetic treasures, these breeds will surely be lost to time. The SPPA aims to protect, develop, exhibit, and preserve old and rare breeds of poultry for future generations
