I have the same problem. I want so badly to foster enough interest in showing in my area that we can actually have shows. I run into the EXACT same thing. I am not one to say that the standard bred birds are the only option. I understand the issue fully. I try not to be a "chicken snob." But it is hard to try to explain without insulting people and their beloved chickens. I am just trying to take it slow and encourage education and competition.
