Excellent points Fred. For me at least, I prefer the term "standard bred" rather than show quality, meaning the birds are bred according to the APA "Standard of Perfection". As a very rough rule of thumb if 10% of the chicks your raise during the year are "show quality", meaning they are good enough to actually show, you're doing fairly well. JMHO
