My "knowledge" of showing is based on what I've picked up from reading this forum, so I don't know for sure. I've heard of many situations where you need a vet's certificate to say your animal is healthy before you can take it to a show. That would be a case where "looks right" is not enough...

Unless you want to breed two completely different genetic lines: One with single combs, and take only females to shows. One with completely different comb/wattle genetics, so the males look like dubbed males, and from that line only the males are taken to shows. That seems like a lot of bother...

Maybe just show females, since dubbing is not required for them, and keep the males at home undubbed. That would be a way to have your favorite kind of chickens, show some of them, and avoid dubbing any.

Question: is that for hens too, or just for roosters? And is that required at all ages, or just for birds past a certain age?
