Poultry show?

[GoldenBlossoms]

Hi, forgive me if I have put this in the wrong forum I honestly don't know where it belongs.

I wanted to ask if anyone knows the standers for putting a chicken in a poultry show because I really think my baby Shoto would be perfect for it. (when they are older)

But I have never done a poultry or any type of show before and am very nervous about it. Do I need to start doing anything while they are young to get them ready?

You'll have to get all the birds you want to show tested for Pullorum if you're in the US unless they come from a certified hatchery and are under one year old. I don't know about outside the US. Each test is good 90 days and then you need a new one if you want to show again.
What breed is your bird?

The tests are actually good for a whole year.

Really too young to tell at this age if they'll be a decent bird to show unless ylthey have serious DQs or if you've been breeding for the standard for a long time.

In my area the Pullorum tests from clinics are good for 90 days. If you get a permit they would be good for a year.

It's a poultry disease also called Salmonella pullorum. It usually kills young birds and they don't treat it since the birds would then be carriers. That being said, I don't know how long ago the last case was seen. Everyone tests for it so you should be fine in later years.

Ok, then you just need NPIp paperwork from the hatchery but only if you don’t also have over a year old birds also. Then you would need to get them tested.

Oh, I just get my whole flock tested and certified every year by a certified tester (my mom). I might become certified this year as well, however. I’ve never gone to a clinic.
