I do have a question regarding the entry form. Ameraucanas are considered bearded, non crested and single comb, right?

They better not be single comb or you are looking at a D.Q. They are pea combed and the judges know that.

Well I know they are pea comb. I was afraid it was a stupid question. :o
They just didn't have it as an option so I wondered if it was also considered single.

Yes. :)

Entries close on Tuesday, Oct. 16, for Fayetteville, Arkansas.
greeneggsandham:
Well, I got my birds dropped off at the meet. Waited around to see Paul's birds but I guess I will have to wait until tommorrow.
I do have a question if someone can answer it in time for me. What do you do to stop your birds beards from getting soaked when they drink? I have one of my pullets that just drenches her beard when she drinks. The others are not quite as messy as she is. Do you bring hair dryers or something to dry them off before the judging? Or are wet beards taken into consideration? Never done this before, so I was just wondering.
Jean:
Sharon,
Water well the night before the show and do not water before judging. The bird can tolerate not having water for a few hours.
