You don't want them too old to show as cockerels and pullets. for some shows this means under a year, for some of the bigger shows later in the year, they want a bird hatched after January 1. So it depends on when you will be showing and which shows.
Sorry, Jen, but that doesn't make sense to me. Were they all APA/ABA shows?
Punky some county fairs have it so that they consider young birds hatched before Jan 1 an everything before that is considered old.
Stuck in the Coop, I was told that the ideal showing age was 8 months for pullets and 10 months for cockerels.
