Ended Official BYC 2022 Summer Fair—Standard-Bred Chicken Show

How old does the chicken have to be? I've got some 20.5 week old chicks.

If they are fully feathered and look mature, probably okay. They hatched in February, yes?

Take the pictures and enter them! Come mid-August, if they look better then, take more pictures and enter those.

I'd suggest waiting until they are (almost) fully grown, since chickens feathering and comb can change quickly.

For example. This is the same d'uccle, around a month or two until the next photo. Loom how many new speckles she got

Yes, you can enter them now, then, if they change before the contest ends, you can send in some new photos and ask for the entries to be switched.

The breeds I got were EEs, Welsummers, and Dominiques, the EEs don't count of course.
The Welsummers and Dominiques should be close to laying around the date this contest ends. I will get some pictures!
