So I'm happy to report that at Fresno my cockerel got Reserve of Breed after Nicole Rickett's Best of Breed blue hen, which went on to win Reserve Jr. AOSB. As this was out of almost 30 Ameraucanas represented, I was very pleased with this win. But even better than that was chatting with John Monaco, president of the APA, and mentioning my whites. "Oh, that's your bird? I noticed him. He's nice."
My pullet got Reserve of Variety, but then I had the only whites.
(I would post pictures, but it's not intuitive. I tried attachments but the images were too big.)
