Ameraucana Marketplace / Upcoming Spring 2025 hatches Tuesday April 29th and Tuesday May 13th

« Last post by Paul on April 25, 2025, 09:37:13 AM »

 We set our last hatch for our spring 2025 hatches.  Set 658 eggs-211 self blue from 25 breeding pens, 35 self blue split from 10 breeding pens, 106 black from 10 breeding pens, 58 blue from 10 breeding pens, 58 splash from 5 breeding pens, 55 white from 6 breeding pens, 49 Opal Legbars from 5 breeding pens and 86 layer Legbars from 3 breeding pens.
  This is the first year in over 20 years that we have not fully booked-up for our spring hatches.  We retain and raise all chicks that are not sent out at hatching.  We have plenty good quality chicks to keep our breeding poultry project strong and there are two more hatches, Tuesday April 29th and Tuesday May 13th.  Stopping on May 13th will give us more time for tending our 2 acre garden and work our tree service.
  If you want some day old Ameraucana or Legbar chicks or hatching eggs email us psmith@ntin.net or text your email address or call Paul @ 940-768-8405
Thanks,
Paul & Angela

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.

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.

Exhibiting & Promoting / Splash Bantam APA recognition?

« Last post by Mitchell Taylor on April 15, 2025, 12:40:43 PM »

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.
