Can you tell me about showing?

[Desirai]

Well, I've looked around and checked stickies and can not find a thread that is just for general showing chatter.

I'm really, really interested in showing.. but I have tons of questions. I'm afraid of coming into another thread and asking questions because I don't want anyone to feel like I'm trying to invade.

Well.. if this is in the wrong place, please move it.

My questions:

What is considered show quality?
How do you get started showing?
How do you know if you have a show quality bird?
Do show quality birds live indoors or outdoors?
How do you tame a chicken to make it cooperate at shows?
