So be we will now just say Silked Ameraucana. I don't plan on dropping out. I love colored eggs and this is a bonus. I have some Black Smooth feathered from Pips and Peeps I plan on breeding with them. None of mine are showing signs of health issues and are fat and sassy. I love the black one and the blue cockerel is gorgeous, I would love to show this at our National show in November. I wonder if it can be listed under some special variety?
I "Think" that a frizzled variety that is a standard color can be shown but silkied is not in that category would not be showable, even AOV.
If someone knows better, I'd like to hear how it can be done. In Araucana's, a silkied type cannot be shown in any way. It will be considered a mixed breed unless I get them going and name them something other than a Silkied Araucana.
