Splash silkies have been recognised by both APA and ABA since 2000.

So you think the Splash Maran Im getting could be shown?

Look in the wingpit to see whether the skin is yellow or white. It should be white, but those feet make me think it will be a DQ yellow. Sorry

Ah-hah, thanks. That's one reason I'm so irritated about the new APA SOP that keeps not coming out...can't see what breeds might have accepted splash in the last several years!

The skin under her wingpit is white....

You can always show birds of non-allowed colors under the "Any Other Variety" (AOV) designation.

Hello Shadowhills. The marans are shown in the Continental Class of poultry at any show. Not many people even know that. Or at least they should be, if the show boards follow the APA classifications guidelines.
But they can only win best of breed at this time until they are accepted by the APA.
And no you won't find them listed as a breed on the APA site either until they are.
Hope this help a little.
Good Luck with your new young cockerel.

Okay, so how would I put that on an entry form? Any guesses ?

Thanks! I did see on a Maran Newsletter that they are shown under the Continental Class. The cockerel is a "Splash", how would I put that on an entry form if I decide to take him to a show?

I still need help with that BCM and her legs. I will go get some pics of the Splash Maran cockerel when I go back downstairs.​
