Any, just as long as they're purebred, in good and healthy condition, of a recognized color for the breed, and that they meet the standard for their breed.

Pick a breed you like and get the best quality birds you can find of that breed. What kind of chickens do you have?



There are so many very nice breeds. I lke games (both modern and old english bantams) as they are small and easy to teach. Plymouth Rocks are very nice birds to work with(bantams as well). Along with so many others. Ask yourself:

1. What personality type do I want in my chickens
2. How big do I want my chickens.?
3. Do I want to put in the extra time it takes for a feather footed breed?/crested breed?/long tail feathers?
etc....

Do,s eany body have eany warm felings twards the partridge rocks?

Partridge rock would be fine for show as long as they conform to the standard. I don't have any, but theyre pretty and a good dual purpose breed. My first show breed was nothing more than a Rhode Island yard hen, and she took second.
If you want to do a bantam type, which some people say are easier, go for dutch banties or somthing like them. Japanese are supposed to be really hard to breed, and old english and american games need to be dubbed for show, which is nothing more than a cruel outdated form of mutilation used for fighting.

Silkies all the way and hamburgs but only roosters.
