Show Quality Birds?

[Roslyn]

I'm looking for a roo to show for either 4H or any other poultry shows that may come to town, and I figured that most people may not be reliable (I'm a newbie, so I'm not particularly savvy with knowing what makes a rooster "Show quality") and I don't think they'd tell me if he wasn't. So I was wondering if anyone knows any truly reliable performance breeders who live/breed in Washington state or ship if they don't.
I'm interested in Orpingtons, Ameraucana, Welsummers, Wyandotte, Marans, Cochins, Brahma and am basically open to any handsome roosters that might do well in a show.

Hey

I have put together a couple threads you might want to take a look at

I am sure they are all top quality breeders.

herea link to the Marans breeder thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=613416
and another for the Wyandotte: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=613065

Hope you can find what it is your looking for

God bless,
Tyler.

I would like to purchase some chickens around May. I am leaning towards Wyandottes and Orpingtons. I am having a VERY hard time locating anyone to provide birds. I like how Paul's Poultry's Wyandottes look....BEAUTIFUL birds. However I can't get ANYONE to return my emails to let me know if they sex the chicks, or how to order. Does anyone have any advice on breeders, I do not want hatchery birds.

I live in SE WA (Tri-Cities) and have some nice silver laced wyandotte cockerels available. Already been shown in open APA class. If you come down this way I can help you out.

Check with Korfus Kluckers, she's in WA and has Exhibition orpingtons in both LF and bantams.
