Chicken Beauty Contest
Poultry Exhibition
Poultry Best in Show
A Chicken Beauty Contest the Poultry Exhibition Judge compares each Competition Chicken with the ideal characteristics for its particular Chicken Breed and Variety.
Typical Chicken Beauty Contest Rules
- your Beauty Competition Chicken must be entered in the correct Competition Class – normally separated by:
- Breed
- Variety
- Colour
- Sex
- Age
Often the Competition Chickens are judged by Standard Size vs Bantam Chickens.
- Your Competition Chicken must match its particular Breed Standard – Competition Judges pay particular attention to:
- Competition Chicken’s overall shape or silhouette
- Competition Chicken’s Size/ weight
- Competition Chicken’s stance
- Competition Chicken’s comb
- Competition Chicken’s head
- Competition Chicken’s tail
- Competition Chicken’s wings
- Competition Chicken’s legs
- Competition Chicken’s feet
Competition Judges compare the Competition Chicken’s general Breed Characteristics.
- Competition Chicken’s Feather quality and color matter:
- Plumage must have the correct color
- Plumage must have the correct markings for the breed
- Plumage must be complete
- Plumage must be in good condition
Broken, missing, badly worn plumage or incorrectly coloured feathers will negatively affect the Competition Chicken’s final competition placing.
- Your Competition Chicken must be Beautifully Groomed:
- Competition Judges expect clean feathers
- Competition Judges expect clean legs
- Competition Judges expect clean feet
- Competition Judges expect clean toenails
Dirty Competition Chickens will be disqualified as potential infections of other competition Chickens.
- Health and Physical Condition are important:
- Your Competition Chickens must be vigorous
- Your Competition Chickens must be properly conditioned
- Your Competition Chickens must be healthy
Competition Chickens showing obvious respiratory or other health problems will not be permitted in the competition due to health of other Competing Chickens.
- Your Competition Chicken’s Temperament counts indirectly:
- A Competition Chicken that stands naturally calm
- A Competition Chicken that allows itself to be examined
- Presents itself much better than a frightened or uncontrollable Competition Chicken
Experienced Competition Chicken Exhibitors train their Competition Chicken beforehand to Stand and Pose properly.
- Artificial enhancement can/will be restricted – the goal is to present:
- Your Competition Chicken naturally
- Rather than disguising your Competition Chicken’s faults or
- Artificially alter your Competition Chicken’s appearance
Competition Chicken Exhibitors are cautioned against products that make your Competition Chicken feathers or facial features look abnormal.
- Serious Breed faults can disqualify your Competition Chicken:
- The exact disqualifications depend upon the Competition Chicken’s breed
- The exact disqualifications depend upon the Competition Chicken’s show’s rules
Competition Chicken Exhibitors must study the current Competition Chickens Show Catalogue.
- Poultry Showmanship – judging is actually on the Competition Chicken Exhibitor:
- How well the Competition Chicken Exhibitor handles their Competition Chicken during Judging
- How much the Competition Chicken Exhibitor knows about poultry
The Competition Chicken itself is still expected to be clean, healthy and in good condition.
