Showing my chickens. Advice please :)

[1eggnog]

I am about to show my chickens for the first time in the Great Eccleston and i have some questions,
firstly i have a gold neck millefleur who i want to show but i am unsure of the catagory to place her in. The link to the catagories is provided please offer your advice:

secondly one of my chickens had (about a week ago) a small cut on her comb which has healed up but you can still see where this was - will this harm her chances at winning?
thanks to anyone for any advice

Hi!

Alrighty, so about the entry, I'm not sure. My fair does it completely different, so I can't help you on that. Call the entry office, and ask them if they can help.

When you say 'gold neck mille fleur', do you mean Gold Neck d'Uccle? Mille fleur is a color, as well as Gold neck.

Your bird with the cut on the comb should be fine. As long as there is no swelling or blood, she should be just fine.

Feel free to ask anymore questions.
Good luck!

Here is the picture of the chicken i was told was a gold necked millifleur - is she an d'Uccle?

From that pic I can't really tell if she has a beard or not. d'Uccles have beards, as well as feathered feet and vulture hocks. If she doesn't have a beard then she would be classified as a Booted bantam, or sometimes known as a Sablepoot.

thanks for helping - turns out the people we bought her from told us the wrong breed, shes a booted bantam
the show catagories have two catagories for bantams - hard and soft. Would she be a soft bantam?
