My 11 year old daughter has joined 4-H and we’ve started making plans for her to show a couple of our 6 pullets at the county fair. One of our pullets is a blue Olive Egger. The breeder hatched her using a black Marans rooster and a purebred Ameracauna hen. I also have 3 purebred Ameracauna pullets: a buff, a splash and a black. Of all of my pullets, the Olive Egger seems to best meet the Ameracauna SOP. Can I show her as an Ameracauna? It seems like many breeders working to create new breeds or color varieties in established breeds show the cross-bred chickens they’ve created within the breed categories that exist at poultry shows.

If the judge finds out she is an OE he might disqualify her (my show doesn't DQ since a lot of little kids show) or he might not place her.
But if you want to just for the experience, why not?
