Show Quality Hens?

[Maddywidget]

Hi there, my three hens are blue Wyandotte pullets, 10 months old.

I will post photos tomorrow, but they're very clean. I will post some pictures i have of me and them.
These are all three of them, they look alike, except for the black one who is sitting in her roost box.
They will be shown in the competition where they are judged in their cage, not showmenship.
Thanks!


I wanted to know if this breed generally wins, how I should groom them, ect.

I already washed them, their vent, their feet, their gobbles and combs.
I put a small amount of baby oil/ vaseline on their feet comb and waddles to make them stand out.
Any advice and tips?
All constructive critisism welcome!




(2 months ago, was holding her funny because mom demanded a quick photo and my hand was occupied.)



About two weeks ago.



Angry with me for disturbing her.

If you want feedback on the birds you'll need to take pictures of them standing preferably in side view. There's no way to evaluate a bird that's being held. Also, what's a gobble?

 

[Maddywidget]

SORRY Not gobble hahaha. I always ALWAYS type/say that.
The small circles under their beak.
I will soon! They're sleeping right now and I'm leaving them alone.
Also, there is one in the side view, just a bad quality, but not too bad.
I've washed them since I took these photos.

The small circle under their beak is called a wattle. I saw the one standing on your back & I guess I should have been more specific. Pictures of them standing on the ground in a natural posture will be helpful in evaluating your birds. If you'd like a comment based on her standing on your back then her type is very poor a she holds her taill all wrong. I suspect that's because she's on your back & she'd look different on the ground.

I am going to take pictures in a few hours of them standing, their eyes, ect
