Thank you, Sharon, for posting those pictures for me. I really appreciate it.
Max, you are right about the pics. Both of these cockerels look much better than the pictures. You, Paul, Sharon and Jan all have some great looking birds too. I also agree on your comments about Paul. Not only have I gotten some great birds from him and Angela, he has also taken a lot of time from his busy schedule to share with me what traits to look for and how to show Ameraucanas. It's nice to win, but it's really nice when people you compete with are happy to see you win. It semed to me that every Ameraucana exhibitor was genuinely happy to see my cockerel win. Especially Paul. As he watched the 4 judges gather around the cockerel he began to smile real big and take pictures. I was watching him from across the room, and I could tell that he felt the cockerel was picked to win. In competition, only a real friend will celebrate your victories with you! Thank you, Paul!
