I showed a Silver pullet in a small Connersville, Indiana show over the weekend. She is only 7 months old but a real sweetheart. I also showed a couple of Black Orpington pullets. This was my first show with the sole goal of learning as much as possible. I succeeded in this.
My Orps got BV and RV (with only 1 other Black). There were only 2 other LF Ameraucanas in the show, and the other two were in fact EE (no judge's ranking). My Silver was marked BV but not BB. Should I read something here between the lines, or do you suppose the judge just didn't think BB was appropriate since there really weren't any others of the breed?
