show quality standards?

[Duck mommy 2019]

if i ever wanted to show my ducks, what’s the show standard for each breed? khaki, rouens, and pekin?

they are just pets so i love them anyways but i feel like shows could be fun

I'd look into local 4H groups (under 18) or local fairs or shows (check facebook!) And while they may be cancelled for obvious reasons now they could connect you to others who show locally! If you want I can take screenshots of my APA 2010 standard of perfection for those breeds, although do know that unless you birds from a show quality breeder (not hatchery or backyard breeder, doesn't make them bad birds just not usually winners!!) I won with my Welsummer who was a feedstore bird but I gotta say she was a remarkable bird and I haven't seen a showable hatchery bird since. Showing can be fun, but know that it can also be a lot of work!

Showing can be fun but you can't get offended when they find things wrong and nitpick the animal. Odd are almost certain they'll point out flaes. They're not perfect just because they're yours

it’ll just be for fun. the ones i show are either from farm places or rescues so i would be extremely surprised if they won lol

Just making sure you know because we get lots of people at our fair that mad when their pet doesn't win best of show.

You could always hold your own show. Your birds are the only entrants! That way, your birds will win! And the judge (you) will find each bird absolutely perfect and have a difficult time picking just ONE winner! I may end up doing this myself!

They do the strangest things. Everytime I go outback to where they are, they all rush up to me, tails waggin’ and looking for some yummies. It never gets old for me. Gosh! I love ‘em!
