About the 2024 Poultry Census

The Rare Breeds Trust of Australia collects data submitted voluntarily by Australian poultry breeders on their breeding age pure breed poultry. The last poultry census was conducted in 2021. The 2021 results are available at https://rarebreedstrust.com.au/public/pages/poultry . You can also see a summary in poster form at https://rarebreedstrust.com.au/public/pages/2021-poultry-watchlist.

The Public Submission phase of the 2024 Census was conducted over the period 1 May – 30 June 2024. 

Next steps

• Collate data from the public submission phase and de-identify data (see Privacy Statement below)
• Consult with breed and exhibition poultry groups on public submission results
• Analyse data and categorise breeds
• Publish results

It is expected that results will be available in late 2024. It may be the case that species (chickens, ducks, etc) within the poultry broader group may be published progressively.
