HELP! Show disaster?!?

[DainaRose8]

this is one of my quality birds for the fair, bundles. I recently relized how beat up she looked from being free ranged, her feathers aren't always this messed up, I just gave her a bath, but still they are in bad shape. Does anyone think there's any hope of restoring her back to show quality in three weeks? If so, how??

You can't magically fix feathers. What you can do is brush over the feather quality and point out all of her best qualities to judge. You should keep her separated and on clean shavings until the show and she might improve a little. However, just remember that the bird you present represents you as a chicken keeper. If this bird doesn't represent your chicken keeping, select another, prettier bird.

Thank you for your help I think I might have to get another bird or two soon.
