You can keep all the black pullets to breed back to the cock bird lavender. You won;t get mixed up that way.

Try the Green Dragon Auction on Friday night at Ephrata area. This is an auction so check to make sure the chicks are healthy.

Yes, there are two clubs with breeders listenings on them. Ameraucana Breeders Club and Ameraucana Alliance Club. You may find someone on there that has what you are looking for.

The original US type Lavender Orpingtons came from EE's.

Chicken Stalker, Happy to see your project was successful.

Here is a pictures of 2016 Breeders unfortunately the male had lost some feathers when the picture was taken. He filled in very nice and has a wide chest now.

Well as far as your lavenders having some issues. If they were not imported then they would probably need some work. white birds from blacks and blues are genetically possible so you need to check out the chicken calculator because no one can look at a bird and determine if it is carrying a...

After having problems finding these birds decided to create my own but went a little further. Since Ameraucanas are an acceptable breed decided to try and make some Silver Spangled Ameraucanas. I will be on the F3 generation this spring.

The UK had lavenders araucanas since I believe about 1930's from a shipwreck on a remote island of the UK well before anything in the USA were called self blues.

Sorry, Jean and Walt my birds did not come out of self blues but were decedents of birds called Lavender Araucanas.

Some probably are and some are interested in making quality. I have had the problem to distinquish which ones are serious breeders in the past with this color and other breeds I have had that is why I am reluctant to sell birds.

OK, I am not in it for the money. I have sold very few birds since about 2008 because of the gypsy's that started to promote them for a fast dollar and some of them would love the APA would accept them. So if one wants to call them "Self Blue" that is fine but this thread is "Lavender" and not...

John from NJ, it is really up to the APA judges which shade of lavender they consider the standard everyone has a different opinion as to the description that is written. The judges will set the tone as to what is the standard shade of lavender. No two birds are exactly alike the same as with...

The APA says they are self blue but genetically they are lavenders. Every country calls them lavender except the US APA calls them self blue.

John, I know. In the early 1900's when they bred black to white orpington they got blues without any lacing and that is when or possibly when the phrase "Self Blue" was created for these blues that were not Andalusian marked. I have had orpington that hatched blue without lacing already which...

I looked at the picture of what is proposed as medium shade of lavender. The 1998 books shows an OEG bantam self blue to be much darker in color, the self blue OEG bantams that as shown are much lighter than the proposed self blue color of the ameraucana. I have seen at least 5 different...

Did you get eggs or chicks? You know when you breed blue to blue you get black, blue and splash chicks?
