A little about our judge Jack Murphy:

Jack Murphy is a dedicated poultry breeder, exhibitor, and judge based in Toowoomba, Queensland. He has developed a strong interest in poultry over many years, with a particular focus on Wyandottes, Large and Bantam Modern Game, Bantam Old English Game, and a range of rare duck breeds.

Jack currently serves as President of the Wyandotte Club of Queensland, where he enjoys supporting fellow breeders and contributing to the ongoing promotion of the breed.

Poultry is a shared family interest, with his son Archie playing an active role in the day-to-day care and preparation of birds. Together, they enjoy working with their birds and being involved in the poultry community.

Jack has judged at various shows across Australia and has also had the opportunity to judge in New Zealand. He has also been involved at major events such as the Sydney Royal Easter Show as an announcer.

He has a particular interest in rare breeds, colour varieties, and the genetics behind them, which continues to guide his breeding and judging.

Outside of poultry, Jack is a secondary school teacher specialising in Agriculture and Industrial Design and Technology, where he enjoys sharing practical skills and knowledge with his students.
