I didn’t see any Aseels there, but it’s possible I missed them.

Had a great weekend with my Shamos at the Ohio National Show. This fella was best of breed and Champion Old Breed from the Society for the Preservation of Poultry Antiquities.

Pipd did take a photo of one. Honestly Aseel are hard to show, because simply put, most are mixed variety, and a lot of breers don't have birds that adhere to the APA standards as much as other breeds

Oh my goodness, I did! He was such a cool bird, and SO tall!

Yes, I only saw one bird labeled as an Aseel. Looking down the building from the end that had champion row, she was in like the 3rd or 4th row from the back on the right side.

This is my friend Katti’s bird. She also had Ko Shamo, Sumatra, and bantam cubalaya in the show

I saw him; (and you, for that matter) he’s filled out since September and the pullets are looking gorgeous too! I’m not familiar with the SCCPA classifications, which birds did the best in other categories?

The do CH and RES for old and rare categories. It was mentioned at the meeting these categories might be revised or split up more. SPPA has been around since 1965 it’s a great organization that needs a little modernization I think to draw some new members as well. Here is a list of awards they provided at the National meet.

What got Champion rare breed LF there? I’m surprised Call ducks count as a rare breed duck doesn’t sound fair to the actual rare ones.
Does a d’Anvers count as an old breed? It is old but it is also very common.
Who judges them?

Just wondering what the experts thoughts on these guys are. I just acquired them due to the previous owner having predation issues. She was so broken hearted about having to let them go, I didn't want to sit and ask her a million questions.TYIA

They look like low quality aseel or aseel mixes to me

They're pretty and would likely throw rose comb birds. Maybe grades?
