Also, what are the four varieties?
Lavender, Black Gold and Red...what was the other?

I should be going to Delmarva show this year...I could bring some of my birds even though I cannot show most of the breeds and varieties which I posses (nonstandard). The man in charge of running the show said that the Ameraucana Breeders Club had not responded to his inquiry on a club meet there and he was waiting for a reply.

grisaboy:
I am currently working on the Lavendar bantams and large fowl.  I am also working to improve the Silver bantams.

Some other varieties that I think would be fairly easy to obtain are splash and splash wheatons (Perhaps these could have a catchy name like Pyle Wheatons since the males look like the Red Pyle color).
Some other not so easy, but obtainable colors are Birchen and Golden (like the golden Phoenix).
Remember that if you do create a new variety,  It would require a concerted effort by the ABC to get the variety in the standard.  That means you would have to get other breeders interested in your new variety to get them recognized.  

Best Regards
Curtis

The four varieties that I mentioned were black gold & lavender in both LF and bantams.  Two or more of us are working on each of these and we need at least 5 for 5 years to try to get them accepted.  Only one person is working on the bantam reds that I know of, so that would take even more interested breeders.

According to our Meet Policy \"...Meets will only be placed by a district director if a member in his or her district requests a meet for a specific show in time for the distribution of information via the ABC quarterly Bulletin prior to the entry deadline for that show...\"  Evidently no member has requested a meet for that show.

Thanks Curtis, I\'d forgotten that Paul and some others are interested in splash.  I beleive it is under another topic.

Lets take a surrvey of who is working on what new varieties.  I\'ll start with what I think I know (below) and let me know any names that I should add or delete,

Bantam black gold, Mike Gilbert, Wayne Gritter, Beth Collier, Angela Stanley, Alnice Nichols, Michael Muenks, Lyne Peterson, John Blehm.

LF black gold, Lyne Peterson, Michael Muenks, John Blehm.

Bantam lavender (aka self blue), Susie Winder, Curtis Beck, Michael Muenks, John Blehm.

LF lavender (aka self blue), Curtis Beck, Michael Muenks, John Blehm.

Bantam red, Jim Tuckwood.  (I don\'t know of any plans to have this variety recognized.)

LF & bantam - splash & splash wheaten, check out the SPLASHES topic on page two.

LF blue silver, Mike Gilbert. (I don\'t know of any plans to have this variety recognized.)

Bantam & LF blue gold, Lyne Peterson. (I don\'t know of any plans to have these varieties recognized.)

Note: There are topics on page three and perhaps elsewhere on this forum that discuss the lavender & black gold projects.

Is it possible to get a photo of each of these varieties posted?  That would certainly go along way to help new breeders decide if that is a variety they wanted to work toward.  In addition to the photo it would be wonderful to have the description of each  proposed variety that everyone is breeding toward so that we would all be working toward the same goal.

Right now we are just working on the wheaten and blue wheaten in bantam and will be persuing a nice silver standard male to begin working with our standard silvers.

I must agree that the salmon and the lemon blue varieties are also two of my favorites.
