Black Australorp show quality?

[Lrm93]

hi I am new here. I have a lot of hatchery chickens and I know they typically don't make good show birds. But I thought it might be fun to enter my black Australorp into the local fair. Even if I make a fool of myself. My roo is only 5 months old. But he is beautiful with a beautiful voice already. Can anybody tell me what, if anything, he would be disqualified for? I'm not sure how serious a county fair show is...

I don't show my birds, but LOVE my australorps ... following to hear what folks say!

Question: they're a fine looking heritage breed, why wouldn't they make good show birds?
