The self-blue fowl story

[Suki]

i was reading on the ABC list that their endeavor to get Self-Blue accepted failed to get the required showing, so now they are looking for a executive reprieve from the Standard Chairman.  Let's hope that's not the way self-blue lavs get into the Standard but i would bet he says YES.

Nothing would surprise me anymore about what goes in the SOP.  I have ZERO doubt in my mind that one of the reasons why the SOP was changed for Barnevelders is because the Standards Chairman did not like how they were admitted in the first place.  He specifically told me that he thought there was fraud at their acceptance meet and when I asked what fraud and what evidence he had, I got the silent treatment.

You have a point Royce...there is already the SOP changing details like 45 tail carriage which does not seem to be corrected.  I'm sure on that note, other changes will just "slip in" by the publisher.
