People usually don't vaccinate their show chickens because they want to know if they are resistant to a disease or not.

You need to wash you chicken if s/he is dirty with baby shampoo and conditioner. Bring baby wipes, Vet Rx or vegetable oil, a towel, a blow dryer, toenail clipper or dog nail clipper, nail file, and Kwik Stop.

You can use wax covered Dixie cups and clothesline pines for your cage cups. You don't want to bring home any disease on ones you are going to re-use.

You can start showing chickens when they are around 6 months+. Pullets and cockerels are in the 6 months division and hens and cocks are in the 1 years + division.
