[/quote]Will there be any shows in Missouri in the near future?

Rooster,

The Missouri Shows I am aware of for 2005 are the following:

Cape G - end of March
State of Missouri Poultry Club - mid to late April (was double judged last year and held in Sedalia
Southern Missouri Poultry Club - October - 2nd weekend - Sedalia - Conflicts with Ameraucana National
IL-MO Poultry Club - 1st weekend in November in Highland, IL - 30 miles east of St. Louis

The Southern Missouri Poultry Club sometimes has a spring show . . . I haven\'t seen it advertised yet.

Michael the spring show for the SMPC was cancelled in 2004 due to lack of entries.  I bealive the club is tossing around the idea of making the fall show a double show. Chris

Guest:
Mike,

Thanks for the information you saved me alot of money, time and effort. I went back and checked my notes on the genetics behind the breeding project and I had that written down.  Sometimes I shoot myself in the foot and I can not figure out why I am limping. I was too focused on slow feathering, barring, wheaten, melonotic, etc.  Even if I did produce a bird that was W+/W+, id+/id+, eWh/eWh with barring, the barring and wheaten (to some degree)would prevent the addition of melanin to the dermis.  :( What I would wind up with would be a bird with white shanks and feet.

Go the Bay City Poultry Club website for more info, BCPC.  The site will be updated as we get closer to the show.

--- Quote from: John ---One of the reasons I\'m working to develop lavender Ameraucanas is because blues don\'t breed true.  I may stop breeding blues once the lavender is accepted.  The same could be done with a lavender wheaten.  Lavender has some feather quality problems associated with it, but it is a very nice color similar to blue but without lacing.

Hi,

Can you tell me why lav doesn\'t have lacing?  Would we WANT to ever make laced lavenders?  Why or why not?
If you wanted to, how would you go about bringing in lacing?

Thanks :)
