Are my polish show quality?

[chicks are life]

I have two 13 week old polish one white top blue ( poptart) the other a white top black ( pom pom).

Poptart
sorry the pics were from my moms phone

all of poptart I know her tail is ruffed up but that can be fixed

is the one white wing feather okay
And PS her crest is a little wet will get pics when she is dried off.



I could also use tips and tricks on showing and cleaning my birds.iwant too show them at a local fair is October

You probably won't like this, but to get a white crest, you have to pull the feathers. They grow back in 6 weeks, I think. Also, pull any broken feathers.
That's about all I know on Polish. They look tame, if that's any consolation.

I know what do you pluck with tweezers? Also can I numb it or something what feathers would I pluck

Pompom is very tame she runs up to me I have already started training her to hold still and keep her head in polace.

To know if your birds are show quality, you need to the research. This involves either purchasing or getting ahold of the Standard Of Perfection at least for your breed of bird. Familiarize yourself with what makes a SQ bird. There are very few show breeders left on BYC. Most have left for other social medias.

Thank I have thought about purchasing the book but I haven't had time to just...sit down and do it.

Your birds are not show quality sorry to say... Both of their crests should be much fuller and your white crested black polish shouldn't have any white feathers on her wings... Do you mind if i ask if you got these from a hatchery?

 

[chicks are life]

I don't mind yes I did.
but her crest looks smaller in the picture then it is in person I don't think I will be showing them any more because we will be gone most of the summer so I will not be able to finish her training. I would have got them from a breeder but their was no breeders in my area.

 

[MillersFarm]

Are you showing her for looks? Or for behavior because if you're showing her for behavior then she'd be great, But unfortunately all hatchery chickens are NOT show quality... Have you looked into buying hatching eggs? I know there a bit pricy and theres not a big chance of them all hatching but its worth a shot.

I have a broody sitting on buff polish eggs I got from a lady not sure if they are from her show stock.

Were would I show her for behavior cause she would do great!!!?!?!?
