She is not APA show quality. I do not know if she would be OK for FFA. Her comb is not at all good and her barring is a bit muddy. Can not see her body type either in your pics. Do you have the SOP? If you want to show you must have it.

She's a fairly average hatchery type BR hen. I love my BRs, show quality or not.

thats good that she is average that makes her beautiful i just wanted to do a show for fun and get an byc opinion

SOP = Standard of Perfection which is how all chickens are judge at shows. Her ruffled feathers is not what I was refering to, but her barring is not clear it is marred. Bars are a bit too big also for show. But again 4H is not strict and I do not know how strict FFA is but I am thinking they will be more so than 4H.

is there ever really a perfect chicken i think there is no such thing every bird has its inperfections. and no i dont have a sop. im just doing it for fun to see if they would place

 

[cybercat]

Most likly she would not place. Her comb would kep her out of the running being to many points and not well formed in showing curve and depressions.

Is she a bantam? She looks awful small to be a largefowl bird?
