I'm new to polish, but I know in this picture its hard to tell her overall type because shes hot, panting, and holding her wings loose to be cool.
I will say her beard is full, her tail from this angle looks good, if she was standing tall and proper I think she'd have a good carriage between the back and tail (important in polish) She has good lacing in her body, and it should improve as she ages some more, the laced birds don't tend to look their best til maturity (6-8 months old at least) but for her age I think she has alot of potential and think in 10 weeks her pattern will have only improved. The only fault I see with her is depth of color, she is pale for a buff, but I don't think that will hurt your daughter much in the junior exhibition at a fair. I think they more look at overall bird presentation, etc.
I definitely say go for it, like you said you may be out a few dollars, but shoot we stick that in a machine for our kids, or on a tinker toy they lose the next day...You may lose that couple dollars but you and your daughter will earn a ton of knowledge and some experience under your belts!

Lol..yeah it was 103 here today. It was hot and she was panting!

Thanks for the opinions. I appreciate the feedback. I just checked...Entry fees are $1.50 for juniors. Nothing much to lose there! We will enter her and hope for the best.
 
The pictures aren't that great, and excuse the mess I was over due to move their tractor and clean up because of the heat and storms we've been having.

Out of the four, one girl is laying the rest are atleast a month younger than her, the cockerel is just getting the idea to try and mate.





Poor girls were so hot! i think an hour later a bad T-storm come through and cooled it down for just a bit.

My oldest did showmanship with her beloved silkie at the fair in June, and it was a great learning experience. Her bird wouldn't move across the table for NOTHING. Even the judge had a try and she still wouldn't move. We learned a lot from the experience. She isn't sure who she wants to use for showmanship this time around, but definitely wants to enter Peanut (the polish) in exhibition at the very least. I think I will end up entering 6 birds between my kids....lol.
 
You have some pretty birds!

Poor things look so hot! The last two days it has been almost 100 degrees and I worry so much about my chickens!!

I have misters in each pen and fans going in the houses. Sometimes that isn't even enough so I have to go out and wet down their pens and the chickens themselves. Looking forward to cooler temps by Friday
