Breeding / Re: Setting Goals

« Last post by kkdossey on March 10, 2025, 05:32:05 PM »

That's good advice.
I'm working on muff/beard expression and tail spread with the wheatens and blue wheatens.
And combs and fluff with the blacks.
Good luck everyone!

Breeding / Setting Goals

« Last post by Lindsay Helton on March 09, 2025, 03:59:29 PM »

Hatching season has arrived and you are setting up your breeding pens.

Hopefully you have been able to evaluate your progress from last year and you are setting goals for this year.
Many breeders select two attributes to work on each breeding season.

This rule of thumb enables breeders to make efficient progress without feeling overwhelmed.
What this means is that when you are setting up your breeding pens, you will not tolerate major flaws in the two attributes you select to work on.

What will you work on this season?

Eye color?
Tail spread?
Back length?
Combs?
Wing carriage?
Muff/beard expression?
Head shape?
Feather width?
Body width?
Leg length?
Weight?
Fluff?
Temperament?
Color?

These are just a few examples of what you can work to improve during a hatching season.

Does that mean you should disregard all other qualities? No.

But now you have direction. 🙂

The 2024 ABC national meet was held at the Dixie Classic in Knoxville, TN on 12/7/2024.

We had 20 Ameraucana exhibitors for our national meet which is tremendous for the SE. We raised $1609 via our silent auction that will go towards our 2025 national meet. A huge thank you to all of the donors and silent auction participants!

Congratulations to Bruno Menarim for receiving Champion Ameraucana with a LF blue Ameraucana cockerel and Jerry DeSmidt for receiving Reserve Champion Ameraucana with a LF white Ameraucana pullet.

Congrats to Bruno Menarim for being awarded our Champion LF traveling plaque and to Jerry DeSmidt for being awarded our High Point and Champion Bantam traveling plaques! Lindsay Helton was the recipient of our Wayne Meredith Memorial traveling plaque for wheaten and blue wheaten and the 2024 Lifetime Achievement award.
