This month, Backyard Poultry has a page on showing. Gives you the basics.
You may be able to see it online, not sure 'cause I have a subscription.

We just showed ours for the 1st time 3 weeks ago in a county fair. I watched some videos on utube about how to get them ready. I never imagined I would bathe a chicken or file their nails lol One got 3rd! The judge told me to feed them dog food about a month before to have them gain weight (and something about the breast bone curveing if you dont) Oh and the dog food makes them shiny lol Mine are young (23wks) so really to young to show just yet but my son entered them anyway! It was fun and the batheing part is def. an experience I have never had before!
