Turns out it's not showmanship it's exhibition.... sooooooo any tips?
Here are a few of my tips:
1) Wash bird 5-7 days before the show and keep in a clean pen inside, to allow natural oils to return to the feathers and allow the feathers to settle back down.
2) Apply a little Vaseline on the comb, wattles and feet before judging.
3) Feed and water your bird AFTER judging- this prevents them from getting wet feathers and pooping on the judge (which judges really hate!)
4) Ask the judge for feedback after judging- this is invaluable.
5) Enjoy yourself!
Also, what breed are you showing?
