Thanks for the info guys. When I am at shows, I am usually working one of the youth tables- kept pretty busy and sometimes dont even get a chance to run around and look at the birds. LOL
The ABC only furnishes rosettes for the open show though right? I think Caleb has decided to show all of his Ameraucanas in jrs at the Hutchinson show he had thought to put one in open, but decided that he would just go with the junior show this time.
Mike, would love to attend the banquet but have been invited to visit my brother and his family that night. Haven\'t see him and the kids for just over 5 years. Perhaps we will be able to pick your brain during judging though. Certainly would love to \"see\" why one bird places over another. It is one thing to read the standard and in your head know what qualities you are looking for, but to actually see why, certainly makes all of the difference.
Caleb is very excited about his new silvers. He has the pen bedded out and everything. I had to draw the line to him putting feed and water in the cups already though. Too funny = )
