2022 ABC National Meet Photos

[Lindsay Helton]

I created a video for our 2022 national meet but wanted to share some photos on the forum to preserve them. A special thanks to Steve Neumann for taking several photos of the birds. I’ll add the photos as I have time to minimize their file size and upload them. The meet report for full results can be found here:

Notice the great back length on the LF black cockerel exhibited by Jerry DeSmidt and the LF blue cockerel exhibited by Steve Neumann. Also, if you look closely at the black cockerel Jerry showed, per the Standard, Ameraucana males should be slightly elevated at the shoulders. This means if you were to pour water on their back, it should roll very gently and slowly toward the rear. Just some things to think about visually while you are assessing your Ameraucana. I would like to say that I love having Brian as a judge because he shows some love to the patterned Ameraucana color varieties. He did a great job judging the LF splash for our first qualifying meet for the variety.
