I wish you the best of luck, it is a very rough time to try to show with the heat what it is its hard to get them in good condition, and teh summer molt makes it tough too, You may want to isolate them in small pens out of direct sunlight and bath or dip once a week to provide additional moisture for teh feathers so they are not too brittle and the "waxy" coving of the new feathers will come off easier allowing the feather t take better form.
We focused most of our efforts for October-february birds many will carry over to march timing the birds for the shows especially the pullets is a big part of success.
