I had a sneak peek at the Millarville exhibitor's entry book. There are so many categories...flowers, crafts, vegetables, photography...there will be lots to see.
So anyway, in the poultry division, the breeds are not broken down into varieties. I'll copy the list for standard breeds here:
I'm wondering how this works for judging. I assume all color varieties are then competing against each other within the breed class. Does this mean that, for example a splash cochin could beat out an APA recognized color like black? Or at judging time are the blacks, buffs, blues, whites, splash etc judged from amongst their color groups first? (If there is more than 1 of each color)
Also, if there is no category for your breed, when filling out the entry do you still specify what breed it is? Or do you just put down AOV if showing a Chantecler for example?
