If you want good show birds, you need to get a book that describes the proper qualifications for chicken breeds and study it before purchasing birds. The American Poultry Association publishes a large book every few years that details breed standards. Attending some poultry shows and looking carefully at the winning birds also help. There are clubs for almost every breed of chicken, and they publish information on show qualifications for that breed.
No matter what you do, you will makes some mistakes choosing show birds at first. It takes experience and some luck to pick winning show chickens. Good, honest breeders try to get newcomers the best birds possible, so listen to their advice when picking birds.
