Judge my chickens! (Marans/cream Legbars)

[Miriah132]

So I want to attend a show this September just to get the experience. I don’t plan on winning best of show or anything lol but can someone look at my chickens and tell me which one/s you would take to the show? Obviously these are not great pictures at all and they’re a few weeks old. Pictures taken at 12 weeks old and they’re about 16 weeks now. With cream Legbars what category would you have to show them in? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I don’t believe you would be able to enter Legbars into the show as the APA hasn’t accepted the yet.

If thr show is a county fair you can enter legbars, but I dont like seeing unrecognized breeds at fairs..Pullet and cockerel of the marans look good so far... still young. @Fanci Feathers Marans

That’s what I was confused about! I know they have been shown at some places but I wasn’t sure how!

Ok that makes sense then! Thank you!

FYI if you are considering showing Marans, even a single Marans is still a Marans. S on the end. I don’t mean to sound rude, just pointing it out if you seriously get into them, it’s something you should know.
I can’t comment on the quality, as I just started flocks or both breeds myself! But will follow along for others opinions.

Really? So instead of saying “my Black copper Maran cockerel”, it should be my Black copper marans coxkerel”?

Fairs and agricultural events have different classes than an APA sanctioned show, such as utility birds which are Sex-Links. I would have to look up the Standard of Perfection which is what the judges take into consideration, how close they are to the standard.
