I have found that using Poultry Condition Mix for a few weeks before showing increases the quality of the bird very much. This feed is used for fighting game birds, so you have to handle them regularly or they will get aggressive to you or anyone handling them. I think this feed is made by Lone Star Feed. It makes their comb bright red, feathers very shiny, eyes bright and they stand proud. It seems to be like giving them speed or something like that. Also, for the egg shows, I found giving them wild bird seed or even a little butter a couple times a week gives them the oils from the whole grain seeds they need to produce the dark egg color. The processed feeds have had all the oils removed to increase storage time. I hope this helps someone.
