We showed poultry for the first time at the Royal Three Counties this year, mainly to get a judge's view on our selection of birds for breeding. We pick ours up fairly regularly to check for lice so they were quite used to being handled, and used to visitors from our holiday cottage looking at them. We didn't train them and the only preparation was to wash their legs and feet before putting them in bedded cardboard boxes for transportation. No problems and we checked them a couple of times each day and they looked fine, although the stewards took care of feed and water.
