The numbers are in:   We have 74 bantam Ameraucana entered and 46 large fowl.   So, a total of 120 Ameraucana are entered in the show.   It should be a very successful and meaningful Alliance Meet with that many entries and many exhibitors.   Wisconsin has pretty much always been very supporting of the breed. Set up is today (Wednesday), and a good crew showed up to help.   We have 98 total exhibitors this year.

Breeding / Color Standards in Project Var...

Last post by Savannah Chivari - June 03, 2026, 11:15:55 AM

Hopefully I can convey my question clearly, I'm curious if there's proposed/drafted standards for varieties not currently recognized by the APA (mainly, chocolate). Is there anywhere that has a list of  proposed genes and what exactly chocolate plumage should look like? Would it be on extended black, like lavender or ermine? Or would it be on ER with additional pattern genes for edged lacing like blues? Would it be up to individual preference? I'd love to have more experienced breeders weigh in and help me wrap my head around it all.

We have 1,060 entries for our Coulee Region Poultry Show to be held this Saturday, June 6th.   Sorry, I don't have the numbers for our Ameraucana Club Meet as yet.   The Rennolets, the Muenks, and the Russ Blairs will be lodging at our house, so it should be a lot of fun.  If you didn't enter, come anyway and experience western Wisconsin in June!

Exhibiting, Promoting & Club Notes / Ameraucana Meet Page update

Last post by Rebecca G Howie - May 23, 2026, 08:14:04 PM

I just went to check the date for the Southern National 2026. It is not listed on the Meet Page at all. The Northern National is also not listed. The Meet I requested for a show last month has the wrong date (too late now to fix) and nothing is listed past the end of May for 2026. Knowing when and where a Meet will take place is helpful for those planning ahead for the year.

Can this please be updated?

Here is a link to the Minnesota State Poultry Assn show.   What is listed currently is for last year's show, but it has some good information for planning purposes, such as motel reservations and show location.  Also, we have been informed of the judges for the 2026 show, and our Board of Directors will select one for our Northern National Meet.   The choices are:   Jonathan Patterson, Zeb skow, Cody Haefs, and Brett Kriefels.   If you plan to show and have a preference, contact Russ Blair or any of the Directors and let them know who you would like to have judge.    Also, if you expect to have a donation for our silent auction, please contact me, Ann, or Rachel to let us know so we can plan for the proper number of cage holes for the birds and space for any other items.   Here is that link:   https://www.poultryshowcentral.com/Minnesota_State_Poultry_Association.html    Oh, I plan to donate a pair or trio of White Ameraucana bantams for the silent auction in addition to the framed charcoal drawing shown earlier in this thread.
