I am getting some chicks soon and i am going to raise them up as show chickens and enter them in some shows. I'm wondering what breed is best out of these...

- Rhode Island Reds
- Silkies
- Australorps

Btw I am new to showing so if you have any tips, go ahead!!
 
There is no breed that's better for showing than other breeds. What's important is the quality of the bird not it's breed. Any breed is capable of winning in the showroom if it's a well bred bird in good condition.
There's no way to "raise them up as show chickens". Their genetics will determine their show potential. Since I suspect your chicks are coming from a hatchery it's unlikely thay any of them will be potential show birds.
 
Hi, sorry but unless they are already top show quality birds, I don't think you will go very well in the Sydney Easter Show.

I would say Silkies are going to be the hardest, with all the crest etc.
