X2 mine are production except the last few I bought from a breeder. I couldn't tell you a show quality one from the rest. Although I know some look great. My silkie looks show quality to me now but Idk. I love my mutts but I'd like to have a few for show too. I really don't know why. Do they have shows like dog shows? Do you win stuff? I may be scared to do that because I have a healthy flock now and would hate to chance them getting a disease. I'd imagine if you had show quality that they would test to make sure the chickens were free of disease if that's possible. ?

Disease transmission is why I would never show chickens. I have taken chickens to swaps to sell. I have never bought one at a swap. And any I take do not come home. I usually sell out, but any that I don't sell, I either give away to some 4H kid or cull them before I get home and sell for snake food later.

Is that your quarantine method? Are you the one who uses a sacrifice bird?

Someone wants me to explain my quarantine program...... I will try to keep it short......

I have a small coop with a wire floor beside my house, FAR from the coop. New chickens go in there for at least 4 weeks. The have a 5 gallon waterer and a large feeder. I only have to feed aned water once in a while, I do this last thing in the evening. ALL clothes I am wearing go in the wash and I go in the shower when I am done feeding them. The feeder and waterer are NEVER used anywhere else on the property. During this 4 weeks, they get wormed twice and treated for external parasites twice. At the end of the 4 weeks, I pick my least favorite chicken, usually a rooster headed for the crock pot, he spends at least 2 months with the new chickens. If ANY of them get sick, they are ALL culled. I don't care how pretty they are, how much I paid for them or how valuable they might be. After all this is over, I scoop the poop up off the ground, if the chickens were healthy, I put the poop on thegarden. If they were sick, I scoop it up and trash it. Any eggs that are produced during quarantine are put directly in the trash.

I know it sounds a little extreme, but I dont have ilnesses in my flock. I don't and never will use antibiotics on my chickens. If Corid, Safeguard, Valbazen, probiotics or vitamins won't cure the chicken, it will be culled. Any chicken that gets coccidia goes right into the fattening up pen to be butchered.
