News and Information / Re: ABC Seeks Approval for Self Blue from APA!

The 4-4-4-4 requirement is not difficult to achieve if we work together. We have worked with other clubs on gaining acceptance for other breeds and varieties. Once we decide on the breed and/or variety to work with, we let all of the exhibitors in that area that we were planning to use a specific show for a 4-4-4-4 for the breed or variety. Everyone who was working with that breed or variety made it a point to carry their birds to that show.At the completion of the show we had to fill out a form for the APA, have the judge sign it, and mail it in to the APA.
We are working with the Marans Chicken Club USA in gaining recognition for the Blue Wheaten Marans. We were contacted by a member of the club and asked what Blue Wheaten Marans we would be able to enter at the Bluebonnet Classic. We took two cocks, two pullets, and two cockerels. There were other breeders who brought a few birds in different classes. At the show there were 5 cocks, 6 hens, 5 cockerels, and 8 pullets. We finished our first 4-4-4-4 for this variety at the Bluebonnet Classic in College Station.
If we work together on either of the varieties that were mentioned, we can fulfill the 4-4-4-4 requirements at a couple of shows this fall. It is a little late for us here in the south because show season is almost over. I am sure that some of us can make it a point to raise some of this year's hatches for fall shows. Surely someone has enough Cocks, Hens, older Cockerels, and older Pullets to use for a couple of fall shows. I know that we will be able to have a couple of Splash Cocks, Splash Hens,
Be Blessed,

Those of us who live here know that you should be prepared for anything. The chickens are the ones who seem to be confused. Is it spring, summer, fall, or winter?
