@NagemTX on the topic of both your comments, because I don’t want to quote both. Buff turkeys used to be in the standard, but got removed. Just another example of something getting removed then not being put back in. Technically I think those went extinct, but are being recreated. Hard to breed...

It’s an awesome forum. I haven’t read through it fully, but I’ve gone through a fair amount of tabs, and they’re quite a good read. I’d be super sad. Blue wheaten lover over here though. Back to the actual topic, OEGBS tend to get on well enough for having so many accepted varieties. Some are...

Same to that bold part lol. I feel like tails are a bit part of a bird. They look all wonky when they have short, pinched tails. In polish especially, I love longer tails, to contrast the massive crest and make the bird look more balanced. My ameraucana pulleya have very nice tail fans So far...

I've got the standard. Amer is correct, although red earlobes isn't too far off. The SOP calls for red combs and earlobes in males, although states female earlobes should be pale. The earlobes should be hidden or small enough to be hard to spot behind the beard, so I now realize it's an easily...

Whenever you actually start getting lavender-blues or blue-lavenders in a few years i'd love to see the pictures. Only ones I've seen have been from the example I shared, and that's a pretty limited view of how the color turns out. I'm obsessed with wheaten and blue wheaten. Plain duckwing...

Ah, does the blue gene improve the feather shredding issue lavenders have? I honestly can’t recall whether that was a yes or no.

The lavender & blue expression is definitely gorgeous. I can’t foresee it getting recognized either though, as the ameraucana community is one of the most vehemently anti-lavender and blue mixing communities out there. The ermine color seems so new, it’s sad they’re already seeing issues. A bit...

If you’re breeding to the standard, yes. if you aren’t, it’s up to you whether to separate or keep the birds together. BBS(Andalusian blue) blues and splashes should be kept separate from lavenders in the case of breeding to the standard. In that case of breeding to standard, unless you want...

Not my photo. I saw this posted in an ameraucana group though, helping to differentiate Lavenders from Lavenders with the blue gene. I agree that you shouldn’t breed blue and lavender varieties if you‘re serious about breeding(if you’ve just got a pet flock and you clarify with others what...
