Splash Bantam APA recognition?

[Mitchell Taylor]

Do Splash Bantam Ameraucana have APA recognition or are they only ABA recognized? If they're only ABA recognized does that mean they can only win variety and go no further in a APA Meet? Our kids throughly enjoy the Splash Ameracauna and while our main focus has been Blue Ameraucana (* Large Fowl and Bantam*) as we hatch out Splash Bantams they have taken a liking to them, and are planning on showing some this fall.

Thanks for any info.

Yes, they are only accepted with the ABA.

So, bantam splash can win Best of Breed at ABA sanctioned shows, and then technically, an additional approved variety should be selected for Best of Breed at APA sanctioned shows.

Unfortunately the ABC doesn't have enough bantam splash breeders to seek acceptance for the variety with the APA. I believe we were at around 3% of the club raising them last time I went through our information.

Thank you for all the information, the kids really enjoy them so we will definitely have to look up some ABA shows for the fall and season.

Good luck. Please send me some pics of them showing if you are able to do so. 🙂
