Are my bird babies pet or show?

[lilbabychickens:)]

I know they arent the best quality, but my little cousins want something to show 4h and locally. NOT BIG APA SHOWS! Well, love is blind and I cant give a good critique on them, so I was hoping you guys could.

These are my BO's, hatched out March 7 2010.

They look good.

They are very pretty hatchery birds but they are about 1/2 the size that they are supposed to be, they are PQ

I credit most of their small size issue to my generally bad feeding program for the first few weeks of their life. The pic is a few weeks old and they've gotten bigger already I think. I do have to say the Orps are the BEST birds I have. they are legit cuddly.

Yeah, they are pet quality, and your feeding ability really did not have much to do with it except for weight wise. Their genetics are hatchery, so they do not have the size and shape a show bird would. But, they would be great for 4-H!
