Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[cree57i]

Well, last week, I posted about not evaluating your birds too early. This weekend's show emphasized that...for me, at least. I took a small group of birds to a double show in Edgefield, SC this past weekend - three black cockerels, and one black hen. We came home with this:

Grand Champion CH LF CH AOSB BB BV Black Cockerel
​

This is the same boy I nearly culled at 6 months, but decided to wait and see...sooo glad I did!

Congratulations!

That's a lot of letters in front of his name!

I know only a little about AM, but they seem to take a long time to finish out, as this proves. Learning, learning, learning.

A lesson in evaluating cockerels too early. I very nearly culled this boy at six months. This picture is him, yesterday, at 10 months.

Wow!!!

Catching up, was behind on the thread... I quoted your earlier pic and was gonna ask you if he was your cockerel that took Grand Champion!!!! Nice work, Susan!! They just keep getting better and better!!!

For that win, you were rather modest IMO... I'd be driving everyone sick with pics and posts!!! Btw, our very first Balthazar baby has arrived!!!

Out of O80, I am impressed already!! And making his debut sporting our very first toe punch, lol...
