Splashes
FLFAmeraucanas:
I am saving every splash I hatch to grow out, and that show isn\'t to far from us, so I should be able to help. How do they count being a breeder for 5 years? I mean, I hatched my first splash out from shipped eggs about 4.5 years ago, and have had a few around ever since. In fact, I still have that hen, she is a personal favorite. Would that count? Is there some sort of special paper work?
Don:
We might be able to contribute a few splash bantams and Maybe a few SW LF if all goes well. Lucasville is usually a great show, though we have not been in several years. We can not help with the 5 year history though.
BTW, we are new to the forum although have been reading and trying to learn what we can.
Jean:
Paperwork on this subject still has to be fileld out and a membership check needs to be done to see if we have the five breeders for five years on both the LF and bantam.
The show will be chosen by the APA and ABA if I remember correctly.
At this time it looks like we may be waiting another year on the lavenders because of the breeder requirements.
This is kind of a long process, so don\'t jump the gun.
The other thing I would like to point out that was pointed out to me is that the lavenders are not being shown. If you breed lavenders please show them!!!!!!!

Good point - if you started with eggs or chicks, you acquired the variety 6 months to a year before you were actually breeding them. Wouldn\'t make a difference in my case, but for some it might.
bantamhill:
On the membership form I have switched to tracking pending varieties by first year raised. I have requested folks check that information and update it. When the decision is made to go for a qualifying meet we will go through the certification process for 5 breeders for 5 years. In the meantime folks need to be showing splash!!!!!!
