Show quality VS pet quality

[HenHouse4Life]

I thought it would be fun to see pictures of everyone's feathered friends and if your bird has won in show, or placed in show or if your birds are just wonderful to have around!
I read on BYC quite often about questions newcomers have about show vs hatchery or pet quality.
Let's give our photos (labeled of course, pet or show) so that we all have a visual reference
If you have won or placed in shows let's hear your stories too!!!!
I'll start, mine are either from a hatchery, feed store or I've hatched myself. BUT.... chicks from breeder coming this March

BCM from my pet chicken

Buff Orpington from feed store

D'Uccle from feed store

Silkie from hatchery
And many others but you get it.....

Mine are pets. I do breed to improve my flock but have no interest in showing. I have numerous pictures; here are a few.
