Good evening everyone.
I have two Splash Ameraucana Roos I got shipped to me from a breeder. I know that the Splash variety is not an excepted color yet, but I'd like to focus on them.
I have seen several posts about showing your birds and knowing the judges and what "type" they like. (as in over all look) I notice mine are more "upright" and after looking through images online it seems some are excepted that way for type? Can someone please explain the proper SOP and what to focus on? My boys are only around 8 months old so they are still maturing. I am simply not a fan of how upright they are.
I have also noticed one of my boys with one random red feather on his back. What does that mean? I believe they are from a BBS pen.
So many questions.. I would like to get into showing these birds but I can find very little on the Splash variety.
Anyone here breed Splash? Care to share photos and experience?
Thanks!!!
