Showing bantams

[Rebecca_joanne_369]

Hi all,
Earlier this year i received some bantam eggs to hatch at home from a relative, they successfully hatched and I now have 3 hen birds and 1 cockerel, at 3 months old, (lucky I know ). I wasn't told what breed they are but from the looks and research I have done, I would say they are Black Japanese bantams.
For me, the cockerel is especially handsome and I would love to show him at locals shows but I have no previous experience in this, can someone please give me some advice! I live in the UK and have no idea what rules there are, he seems to be a quiet cockerel and is calm when I hold him so that is not a problem but as I only have a small number of poultry I don't have them vaccinated for anything. Is this a problem if i am wanting to show him? What class would he go into? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I've just stumbled across this now but I'm super busy since it's cleaning out day!

I can help you with your questions though since I show here in the UK too.

It might be in a few hours but I will try and help you out when I'm finished with cleaning

Hi thank you so much! I have no previous experience of showing chickens and i am a complete novice.

I would try and join a poultry club since there should be people there who can teach you how to show chickens.
