A warm, character-driven documentary about passionate poultry breeders competing at prestigious chicken shows, celebrating obsession, community, and the pursuit of perfection in an unexpected niche.

The trials and tribulations of those who breed exotic birds in the world of competitive poultry; three remarkably rich and diverse personalities who come together to compete in their shared passion to raise the perfect chicken. The film will follow the struggles and triumphs of these characters, along with a wide array of competitors-both human and chicken-from the Ohio National Poultry Show, considered the Westminster of Chickens, to the Dixie Classic in Tennessee.
