Hi yall! I just got chickens about a month ago so I am still pretty new. I have three chickens. One Rhode Island red (Clementine) and two Buff Orpingtons (Noodles and Lady Winifred Buchanon Odinson of Edingburg). They are about 4 months old. I can't wait to learn more about chickens. Bye!

You will have so much fun raising chickens!
 
Hi! As you know I have three hens. I'm interested in showing them but I have never shown anything in my life. Here are some specific questions I have, but anything helps.

Are there any important rules?
Are there any special dietary needs?
Do I need to train my chicken to do anything?
How will the chicken be judged?
Are there any differences depending on your age?
I have an RIR. She is the same age as my other birds (4 months) but is half the size of them. Will her size affect anything?

Noodles does not enjoy being picked up, occasionally bullies the others and is very loud. She makes a noise like the child of a broken air raid siren and a kazoo. Clementine is very small but very smart. She is OK with sitting on your arm but she hates being held with her wings pinned to her side and is flighty. Winifred is reasonably affectionate, is OK with being handled and is slightly dumb as she swallowed my earring recently (We got it figured out). Which of my chickens should I show?

Clementine
Winifred
Noodles
