There is no "Calico Plumage" in the ABA Standard - can't speak to the APA SOP. So if you were to enter a bird in a show as a "Calico", the judges would have no criteria to judge it to.

I'm sure you can tell by my questions I'm a newbie. Guess I had better purchase an ABA Standard in Indy! Is there a process in the ABA Std. as to how one might go about getting a color recognized?

I have decided to sell the "Zohan", one of my MFC Roos. I just don't need him anymore, and I need to downsize for winter. Anybody need a nice Roo?

Zohan is very nice. All you people culling out roos I would love to have.

Awe well maybe next year.


So I already got the answer to this question from one MFC person. But just wanted to ask again and see what would happen if I bred a good type black roo to some MFC hens?

I am thinking I may just have to get hatching eggs again next spring.

Thanks Tiki. Sorry but I don't have an answer to your question. MsBear or CoopaCabana may have the answer.
