Cesar, I am so sorry I didn't see your question until just now!
I have a copy of the ABA by-laws, and Jean also communicated with them directly just to verify the simplicity of it. Really, all you have to do is petition for the admittance, they select a qualifying meet where a total of 25 have to be shown (five of each; Cock, Hen, Cockerel, Pullet), and then they either accept it or not! It is really that simple.
The only problem will be the current ABA standard for splash wheaten is not good at all for the cockerel/cock. It references the red pyle, which leaves out any blue coloring. Of course, the blue coloring is one of the more striking visuals of the SW male, in my opinion. The pullet description is just fine. So what we are going to have to do is propose a description change with the ABA. We actually have to do that before we petition the APA anyway, since there can be no conflict of the description between the two. Once we all have agreed to a proposed description of the male, we will begin the communication with the ABA.
Other than that, that's it! The APA recommends petitioning both at the same time, so that is the plan right now.
Peggy, are you on facebook? We have a Splash Wheaten page. As we hatch out and raise up SW's, I am hoping for more and more pictures to come in. As we get closer to the exhibition season, I hope to have at least a couple shows coordinated with as many SW's as we can get, both LF and bantam. I believe we all will be able to decide on a proposed description by the end of this coming season after comparing the cockerels and cocks from this year. I don't plan to cull any males unless it is obvious Ameraucana defects in type or personality.
