Can I show her? ~picture~

Would it be a waste to show her? I mean if some one could beat her easily.

Thanks for your help!

It depends on where you show her. If you're showing her in a local/county fair, give her a few months and she'll do just fine. If you intend on going to APA shows, you won't place well, if at all.

I'd agree. She might look better if you let her grow more. Did you get her from a hatchery?

Maybe a better picture would tell us more

Yeah she will be laying before I show her. Yes she was from a hatchery MPC.

Well her lacing looks good, especially for a hatchery bird. I would suggest county fairs if you want to place, but if you're going to a breed standard show...

be prepared to not place.

 

[willowbranchfarm]

Yes it would be a county fair. But I mean I guess she could still not place. Thanks for your help.

I'll respond as a Judge: first I assume she's supposed to be a Silver Laced Wyandotte although other than colour nothing else indicates that.
If she were entered in a sanctioned show & she were the only bird in the class I would not place her. She is totally lacking in breed type.

She's long & flat in the back, tail set is wrong, lacks the roundness a Wyandotte should have, head is very narrow [almost crow headed].
Here's a link to the Wyandotte Standard. Use it to evaluate your bird.
