I'm going to a swap soon and I need help desiding what breed to get. I want to show this bird so I want it to be good show bird. I was thinking maybe a silkie or a polish but let me know what you think I should look for.
At a chicken swap, you increase your chances of getting a bird with parasites, diseases or other maladies. I highly recommend buying from a breeder or even from a hatchery. Hatchery birds are usually not show quality though. I would choose something not too common. Check feathersite.com for pictures of breeds.
