I went to the county fair tonight, was looking forward to seeing the poultry. So many EE were labeled Araucana, not a true Araucana in sight, many of them were called Ameraucana too. A LOT of them had blue ribbons, sad thing is there was 1 pullet that looked like it may have been a silver Ameraucana (not good lighting in there at night) and it got 2nd place. Most of the EE's had blue ribbons. They were pretty, but mutts none-the-less. I thought about entering next year but don't want to bother if the judges have no idea. There was a silkie with a single comb with a blue ribbon too *sigh* . I think I would just get frustrated if I entered my birds, especially since I made sure I got GOOD stock, and CORRECT to the standards....
