More than likely.

If you don't mind me asking, what is shafting? I have never heard the term

Shafting is the lighter color on the shaft of the feather.

Well folks, I would like to report some show results.

The Virginia Poultry Breeders Association Show in Ruther Glen, VA was my first show ever. I showed the following poultry with the following results:

• Wheaten ameraucana cockerel – RV
• Wheaten ameraucana pullet – BV
• Blue wheaten ameraucana cockerel – BV
• Black ameraucana pullet – RV
• Black ameraucana cockerel – BB/BV
• Cream legbar pullets – BB
• Cream legbar cockerels – RV
• Euskal oiloa (marraduna basque) – BB/BV

While I had the only cream legbars and euskal oiloa at the show, there was strong completion in the ameraucanas. So getting best in breed and best/reserve varieties in a very competitive class was a pleasant surprise. I had attended a show in Frederick, MD about 3-4 weeks ago and based on observations there, I felt that some of my birds might be competitive. But I never would have guessed that they would do this well. An exciting day for sure!

I was also able to talk with lots of folks about the cream legbars and EOs. There was a lot of interest. I also made a point of discussing the draft SOPs with the judge for both the cream legbars and EOs to gather comments and info to further establish the breeds and acceptance.

Question for Jean, if I join the ABC, would the club award credit for this show? I have thought about for a while but time slips away when you are busy.

No, have to be a member before judging. It also has to be an ABC meet.

I was hoping to replicate something like the Marans thread for Ameraucanas. Not EE's but pure Ameraucana only please! Just hope we can talk about our eggs, breeding, showing, and post pictures of your beautiful birds.


Thanks,

Henry
