Scott, I wouldn't worry to much about "coop training". If you have some cages that you can separate the 2 that you are going to show and just handle them some I think they will be fine. I sometimes just go out and grab birds out of my grow out pens and take them to a show and I have never had any major problems. Judges are pretty accustomed to chasing the younger birds around the cage to catch them. The one good thing about them being calm when handled is that it decreases the chances of them bending or breaking a feather when the judge is trying to get them out.
I am taking about 30 birds to Knoxville...can't wait!
