What breed of bird should I get for show next year?

[sunny_bellyboo]

These are my show birds from last year at the show

 

[MysteryChicken]

Silkies.
These boys are breeding stock from a SQ Silkie breeder I ordered hatching eggs from.

I have d’Uccles and they are so pretty! But I have never seen show birds so mine might be ordinary. They are pretty friendly.

Is there even a chicken under those feathers?

Yes, some very handsome ones too.

Fantastic choice, @sunny_bellyboo ! Not only are d'Uccles flashy, but they're chock full of spicy personality.

You say you're ordering from Meyer Hatchery? While I love my Meyer birds, Eagle Nest Poultry's d'Uccles simply can't be surpassed as far as quality goes (considering these will be used for show). They're based in Oceola.
