Breeding and hatching the perfect chicken?

[starrmar006]

Hey,
I want to show chickens, but don't know which breed, I was thinking a small chicken but easy to show and easy to hatch and develop, does anyone have options??

Silkies are very pretty bantam breeds! Silkies are also known to be show birds. Some other ideas are D'Uccles or Polishes. They are all gorgeous! Best wishes!

Go to a show. Look at all of the birds, and start with the breed that you like most. Shows are only every now then. You have to look at the birds daily. They should be something that you REALLY like. For me it is leghorns of any variety. For you it might be cochins, or silkies, or Polish, or Lakenvelders, or -----------------------------------

Though I completely agree with @sourland, I do love my cochin bantams. And my OEGBs. There's one in my profile pic (silver duckwing rooster) for reference. They have the advantage of being very popular and thus, easy to get.
