starting to show

[chickens12]

hello im looking for a good show bird who is rather calm and doesnt mind being picked up or held. im wanting to start showing so i was wondering what everyone who recommend for a show bird im really looking at bantams since theyre a smaller bird and i plan on building and above ground coop so they dont get dirty since i want to do really good in showing

A great breed to start with would be a cochin bantam, look into Silkies and Barred Rock Bantams.

Good luck! When you show have a presentation memorized. Know your breeds standard weights, colors, year admitted into american standard of perfection, shank, leg and beak colors and lots more.
