Washington Feather Fanciers Winter Brisk Show
Tailfeathers:
Just for the record, I only took 3 Wheaten & 3 BW Pullets. Don\'t have any males worthy yet.
I didn\'t talk with Ken as I am pretty sure that I saw Jamie judging the LF Ameraucana too. I did talk with Jamie & he said he sees mostly solid colors (Blacks & Blues mostly) at the shows in the N.E.
I am very pleased with the results of last year\'s efforts and I know that these six are the best I\'ve produced yet. While I didn\'t have any other LF (Let\'s not let that happen again, ok folks?!) and was disappointed to not see any, I am pleased to know that he thought the ones I brought would rank right up there with the ones he\'s seen in the N.E. shows that he mostly judges.
I somehow completely missed the Lavendars but Jen did have a very nice Black Cockerel and I must admit the nicest looking Ameraucana there. The Bantam W & BW pullets were nice too and, as Jean already said, sure are cute.
All in all it was a great show and it was really nice meeting and chatting with everyone - but especially my fellow Ameraucana breeders!
God Bless,

Royce, it\'s good to hear you feel you are finally making some progress with those wheatens and blue wheatens. With six good females you have the foundation to build a solid flock.
I seldom keep any more than that in one variety to breed from. It sounds like Chehalis was a very nice show. A friend, Tim Jurgens, had a bantam R.I.Red on Champion row, and one of our Chantecler Club members, Bruce Bickle, had Champion American on a Partridge Chantecler. If I ever made the trip I\'m sure it would feel like home. But I would be pretty leery about crossing the mountains this time of year so doubt that it will happen.
Cloverleaf Farm:
Mike, that was a really awesome partridge Chantecler, I wish I had gotten a better pic of him. Also, I met Tim, and ended up with his crele Chantecler cockerel...REALLY excited about THAT project!!

I did not know Bruce had Chanteclers. Im waiting on Donna the lady that took all the pictures for the show. I like to always send the exhibitiors pictures if we can. Sometimes it is hard to get good pictures of your birds.
Once I get his pair breeding, I will be showing some brown reds. I really like this pair. Thanks again Mike:
Mike Gilbert:
Hey, your welcome Christina. While the pair of brown reds is somewhat undersized at least they have decent Ameraucana type and characteristics. And I know you have a good plan to increase the size. Good luck with them. And by the way, I think you had a pretty major win at that show with a Black Orp, am I right? Congratulations to you as well!
