Title: Meet Results for the 2022 Cape Fear Poultry Assoc. Double Card Fall Show
Post by: Stacy Melton on January 04, 2023, 09:25:30 AM
This one-day, double card show was held on Saturday December 10, 2022 in Smithfield, NC.  We had 5 Open exhibitors and 3 Junior exhibitors showed a total of 40 (33 LF and 7 bantams) Ameraucana in 6 recognized varieties (Black, Blue, Brown Red, Self Blue, Wheaton and White) plus 1 project colors (ermine).  The show boasted nearly 1000 birds with a nice showing of large fowl Ameraucanas in the Open show.  :)

This was a good show with lovely Ameraucana on display.  I thought this might be the day my Brown Red Cock, Harley, would be Champion AOSB as he was in prime form and showing off for the Judge.  But alas, he missed it by some feathers….  Literally.  LOL.  He had not quite grown back in his full beard but the Judge did say he was the nicest Brown Red he had seen on the East Coast.  What a great compliment for this color. I was happy Harley (a great ambassador for my favorite variety) got recognized.  I love this breed!  ;D

Other breeders who attended and/or exhibited at this show were Megan Abel, Shem Abel, Frank May, Tom Kernan, Mary Lewandowski, Kim Ramsey, Danny Moore, Kaylee Lackley and Madison Lackley.   

Attached are a few photos of the show.   Enjoy.   :D

For the Blue card is was Judge Michael Wasylkowski from Delaware.  He actually commented on all 3 boys and spoke about their consistency in color and type.  He looked at Harley for a few minutes before he made that final AOSB decision.  The Black Hen was nice so I totally understood why he selected her.   :D   This is my favorite variety color.  Nothing quite pops like that fiery orange color.  ;D

But hey, that's okay Mike, give me a couple more seasons and I hope to have boys in this variety that are consistently in the running for the best of class!   ;)
