This is the BV White large fowl Ameraucana, a cockbird by Bob Rennolet.  Sorry, I forgot to get a shot of the RV White, but it was also shown by Bob Rennolet.

Russ Blair's BV large fowl Blue pullet.   She was a good representative of the breed, but there was no RV Blue.

BV LF Brown Red cockerel and RV Brown Red pullet, both bred and exhibited by Mike Gilbert.  Can't see it from the photo, but the pullet had nice lacing on the top part of her front end.  Cockerel is exactly Standard weight at 5.5 lbs.

BV large fowl Buff and RV large fowl Buff, both John Blehm birds, a pullet and a cockerel I think.   John correct me if that is not right, but I think that is what I saw on the coop cards.   The buffs have really improved in quality.

My apologies to John who had the best AOV large fowl on a lavender.  I just flat ran out of time at the end of the show.
Actually, my camera battery went dead and there was no time to recharge it.  Sorry!

Here is Jerry Segler's Reserve AOV cuckoo lavender.

Thanks for the pix.  I don't particularly care for cuckoo, but Jerry's boy could change my mind.  Lovely.

I agree, Brownie, I never gave cuckoo much thought until I saw this guy but he was impressive!

No Blacks?  And I understand that the two best, greatest, most fabulous varieties weren't represented at all but there's always next time. Truly disappointed to see no W and BW made it but that'll change soon!

Seriously, congrats to all the winners and to all those that exhibited and made the show.  Truly envious!
