Show Prep and Conditioning - what do you do?
Don:
You can find anything on line, wow. the single trim across the front would be fine if they were going back into the coop. The sharp edges on the sides would wear smooth. But if you are taking them directly to a show I would even it out a little on the corner just to make it look more natural. But three clips should do the trick.
( There is no blood unless you get into the quick of the beck, just like your dogs toenails. You are trimming the beak not trying to debeak them! )
I am sure that Jeff would be glad to help out at the show. He has already told you what he thought about doing to the tail feathers.
Susan Mouw:
Uhm, I think I'll just try it myself a few days before the show, so any blood stains can be washed out before the show.
I know Jeff is very talented in show prep, but I think I'll wait until after judging is over to ask him for any tips. LOL
Jeffery and Cheryl Vance:
Just give me 10 minutes before the show, my friend!

Oh Jeff, I'm be so busy getting everything ready! I'll give you 20 minutes... After the show.
(Can't wait to meet you two! I know we are going to have fun!)
Don:
Dixie Classic website has a very simple show prep article with a few pictures. I am sure there are others
