How to show chickens?

How do you show chickens?
I got some chickens and since im in 4H i decided i would try to show but im second guessing myself now cause i have no idea how to show

I wrote several articles on how to prepare for a chicken show. See this one on how to wash your chickens prior to the show:

And here's a longer one that talks about conditioning as well as prepping for shows:

If you like I can write something up about what to expect at your first show, and how to coop in, would that be helpful? Let me know.

Cheers,

Ok, here are two articles I wrote about making sense of the markings judges put on cage cards when they're judging a poultry show:

Hope these help!
