Breeding / Entering a display at a poultry show
« Last post by Lindsay Helton on November 27, 2024, 10:04:32 PM »Have you considered entering a display at a poultry show? Are you curious about what a display consists of?
A display consists of seven birds from the same exhibitor of the same breed and variety.
If the show has a "trio" class, the exhibitor must have at least one trio entered (young or old). A trio consists of a cock and two hens or a cockerel and two pullets.
In addition to that entry, the exhibitor must have at least one cock, one hen, one cockerel, and one pullet entered in the show.
The ABA and the APA have calculations for ranking the best displays!

« Last post by Lindsay Helton on November 17, 2024, 11:14:03 PM »It has been 40 years since the Ameraucana breed was admitted to the APA standard!
At the annual meet in Milwaukee in October of 1984, the APA Board of Directors voted to accept bantam as well as large fowl Ameraucana into the APA Standard using the bantam’s proposed standard as a guide. The wheaten, blue wheaten, blue, black, buff, white, brown red, and silver color varieties were recognized!
