showing

Hello! and I hope you follow along and enjoy this breeding plan. PLEASE OFFER SUGGESTIONS AND CRITICISM WHERE NEEDED! Don't worry about pulling punches, I'm a grown man, I can take it. To start I am going to say I first saw the Speckled Sussex chicken when I was 14 years old (I am now 42)...

Howdy! This is my first year showing chickens. I am very excited and nervous! I wanted to join this forum to get ideas, tricks, and tips to help raises my chickens. Does anyone have any raising suggestions? Thank you!!!!

Hello ! I have 3 anacona ducks from al’s quackery and was wondering if my tri-colored drake is a show bird . I don’t know how this works and probably won’t show for a while but i would just like to know 😁. @KaleIAm @learycow < Kefi Drake 🤪

I have 13 layer hens and would love to add a Shamo or Asil to the flock eventually. I've always wanted weird rare breeds and I love the Shamo look, the bird would be for show and pet only and it's chicks would be strictly show pet only. I've seen them at the shows with gorgeous birds and I know...

Hello all, I have 4, 5 week old silkies from an extremely good breeder (Kate Morreale) bought as hatching eggs. As of now they do not have blue ear lobes at all-- They are just the color of the bird's skin. And yes, I am positive I am looking in the right place. I somehow cannot remember at all...

Hey guys! Complex question here..........We ordered 4 meat turkeys which we hope to raise, show in 4-H, and hopefully sell at the junior market sale or eat for ourselves. Anyways, our chicken flock was recently diagnosed with Marek's. And, if you have Marek's, no showing for you! I know turkeys...

I have recently been reading up on Deathlayers and am wondering why they are not APA. It seems they are historic, is it just cause they are a new import? Is there a movement in the U.S. to add them to the APA list? I know the Cream Legbar is a few years out from being added but is there even a...

I can't have chickens where I am right now and I love showing anything I'm involved with - it's an amazing learning opportunity. I am trying to make it work with my arctic-guppy-chickens (a.k.a. japanese coturnix quail) and have run into the following dizzying array of issues: 1. Most all...

I am in some serama facebook groups and there are TONS of serama shows all over the country. I have a few questions (experienced folks please weigh in) Non-recognized coloring : I've seen shows where there are tons of different colors. To my knowledge only black and white are recognized. Are...

Hi there I recently got into exhibition poultry because I have been given a chicken by a neighbor who’s son was in 4-H after they couldn’t keep it anymore. I was looking online at photos to compare this chicken and show quality ones and don’t really know what to look for. If you could give any...

I live in Greece. I am interested in breeding dutch bantams. I adore the gold partridge color, the light columbian, the splash-blue-black and the buff-yellow. Who can send me eggs? Thanks!

My Phoenix cockerel is going through his second molt of the year and he’s just starting to have his main tail feathers come in. I noticed that two of his black tail feathers are coming in with white mottling throughout the feather. He’s a Black Breasted Red; if I were to pluck out the feathers...

So, I am wanting to show my Mottled Cochin's in a show. Thing is I have some questions... *Do you take the bird out to show? *What do you do with the bird when showing? *Dose the bird stay in the cage? *Dose the judge just look at it in the cage to judge it? Thanks!

So I want to attend a show this September just to get the experience. I don’t plan on winning best of show or anything lol but can someone look at my chickens and tell me which one/s you would take to the show? Obviously these are not great pictures at all and they’re a few weeks old. Pictures...

I love Fayoumis chickens and would love to breed them for show, but am unsure of if that is possible. Are they accepted as a show breed in the U.S? Is there a breed standard? If so, is there certain U.S areas that wouldn't accept them?

Hi All, I would like you to give me your opinions on my two roos, one is a splash and one is a white. I will be using both for breeding, and possibly showing the splash at some point later this year. The white has some feet problems due to poor husbandry before I acquired him so he won’t be...

Hi All, I am new to chickens, but I do know that I have a love for Bantam and Standard Cochins! I am really curious to find out from those of you who show your poultry, where and how you house your birds. I'm referring mostly to the roosters, as well as the show hens. I have one big coop right...

Good afternoon BYC! I needed to ask how on earth do you take care of a pedigree chicken? eversince we are getting a show hen next week from a breeder, so we can enter a show.

I have to clean my ducks for a Show today and I’m just wondering what you guys do to get the best out of your birds, Thanks

Ok so this summer I plan to start showing muscovy and khaki campbells. So when do they have all there feathers coming in nicely? I know that khaki's are looking there best at around 4 months I just I'm not sure about the scovies. So I need to know when to start a batch of eggs incubating so that...
