Showing Frizzles

[RockwaterFarm]

i read earlier on BYC that you can't win a poultry show with a frizzled chicken if it has feathered feet, but you can if it has bare feet. Is this true? if it is i'll be bad cause i've been wasting feed on two very pretty frizzle cochin bantams. I wanted them to be the first chickens i showed since they hatched at my house.

That might have been my post that you read. The show they are going to is our local youth fair for 4H and FFA. I have been told otherwise from someone else who advised they are listed in the APA book, but I'm not going to fight it at our fair. I guess it would depend on where you are showing them.

Ask the director of the show you are taking them to what they think.

No Frizzles can take anything! Theyare recognised variety but must match the description of the individual breed Cochins, Polish ect.

I bought from a line that frizzled cochins have taken champion bantam and featherleg several times!

Briarpatch is right, Frizzle Cochins are recognized, here's the thread for reference https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=293065&p=1

Frizzle is an APA and ABA recognized variety for ALL BREEDS. Any ABA or APA sanctioned show must accept that. If the show is not sanctioned, they can do anything they choose. However, that would not be a show I was attending.

Frizzles are recognized by APA & possibly the APA.
They are in a class of their own to my understanding,

All frizzles no matter what breed are placed together They are a class of their own, the judge decides which is the best frizzle,
like they would any of the other chickens in the other classes.

The Judge should then take the best frizzle to championship row, and judge all of the classes together.
This is not the case most of the time.

However I find it very rare that a frizzle would ever win champion of the show,
I have never heard of this being done anyway.

FOR MORE INFO ON SHOWING FRIZZLE,

PLEASE SEE THE
ABA & APA STANDARDS OF PERFECTION.
