Sharon Yorks:
Just wondering how many ABC members are planning to attend this show and what they may be taking. I have a splash, blue, and black cockerel that I was considering taking, (maybe a splash pullet, too) but they were hatched in April so they would only be 5-6 months old and maybe not mature enough. I'd like to go to the show and don't want to go empty-handed, but on the other hand I don't want to take anything that's not ready. I may just go to watch and check out the facility since I've never been there. Who's all going?

Sharon

John:
Some of us, in the ABC, are going because we also breed Chanteclers and it is that club's (CFI) national meet.  I hope to take a few Ameraucanas, but have no idea yet what will be ready.

Mike Gilbert:
We plan to be there showing a few Chanteclers.  Also delivering some Ameraucanas, but don't know yet if any will go in the show.

Sharon Yorks:
Would either of you ever take a 5-6 month old to show? These are 3 that I have decided to sell. I was going to advertise them, but thought that maybe it would be helpful to promote the breed by taking them to the show (since I was wanting to go anyway) but I'm not sure if it would be wise if they aren't fully developed by then. Have either of you ever showed any Ameraucanas that young?

Mike Gilbert:
Bantam pullets are often laying by that age, so certainly are showable.   Most large fowl pullets not as likely, but it is possible if they are fast developers.  Male birds seem to take longer to fill out completely, especially LF.
