Show quality cockerels? (Buff Orpington and Ameraucana(?))

[WingedBeauty]

I have been planning on entering some of my chickens in a show for a very long time now, and I believe that I now have some show-quality birds. The thing is, I'm not 100% certain of that. Should I show either/both of them? If it helps at all, the show (technically a fair) starts on September 18.

First off, I have this Buff Orpington cockerel (Remus)-


The problem that I see with him is some slight scabbing on his comb-


The second cockerel I have is this Wheaten Ameraucana(?) (Romulus)-


He has some rough (or missing?) feathers right before his tail, however-



I hope that you may be able to let me know if it's worth entering either of these guys, or at least direct me to someone who can.

Is it for 4H or a poultry association show? If it's 4H you can show just about anything. They aren't judging the quality of the animal, they are judging you as the handler.
The Buff Orpington has a flopped over comb. I'm pretty sure that would mean he's not show quality.
The Ameraucana is not an Ameraucana. He is an Easter Egger. Not a standard breed.
If you want show quality birds, don't source your stock from a hatchery. Research breed standards, and find a good breeder.

It's an association show.

Thank you for the advice! I'll keep that in mind the next time I get birds.
