Show Chickens?

[AbbyTravers]

I would like to get a good breed of chickens that I can show at the fair. But I am new and don't know what a good SHOW breed is. Please help. Anything is appreciated.
Thank you

I don't know many either, but I know the Orpington is a very beautiful chicken and also quite friendly. This breed has been used in shows before.

Here are some pictures:

also my favourite colour of Orpington:

Hi,

I had the same question when I was in the first year of chicken showing. The breed I had is what I believe to be one of the best breeds I could've started with. I started with belgian bearded d'uccle bantams, they are great show birds, easy to handle, small, friendly and are adorable.

Here is a picture of the little cuties :3

Chinese Silkies are good for shows.

Thank you all for your suggestions! Anyone else have anymore breeds or pictures.

Sebrights, Old English Games, Cochin Bantams, Barred Rock Bantams and Rosecomb Bantams. All of those are great beginner birds.

I wouldn't recommend this breed for a beginner. I have heard they are very messy birds and quite hard to tame, but very cute looking. This is a Polish Bantam
