Ask members of that show club or fanciers that you know that exhibit at that show. Someone should be able to get you lined up with a certified tester to get the job done.

Well, I found a tester online and went ahead and had the birds I'm bringing tested. So I'm about ready to go!
I'm fairly excited about it and can't wait to see what other real Ameraucanas look like up close!
Can anyone tell me if I need to provide bedding or feeder cups? I assume you bring your own feed, water?
And I noticed something about a silent auction. What is that about and what makes it silent?
Paul:
Most shows put shavings in the cages and provide small plastic cups for feed and water. We bring feed and water that the chickens are use to. We have cups designed to hang on the cages.
A silent auction is where you have items on a table with a sheet in front of the items to sign your name and the bid you want to make. They usually have a starting bid wrote on the sheet. They will close the bid at a certain time the item will go to the highest bidder.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

I haven't seen a show provide feed cups, only water cups. The show supplies both feed and water and it should state in the show rules that feed is provided. Most folks put the feed in the show coops on the floor for the birds to eat. Some of us frown upon leaving your personal items in the show coops while judging is going on, since it can give a judge a hint as to the bird's owner.
greeneggsandham:
Hmmm...well I guess I better ask someone. I couldn't find anything in the show booklet that addressed those questions. It does say APA and ABA rules will govern the judging of the show, but I am not familiar with those rules. Anything I should know regarding that?
