I'm into the Lav Ameraucanas a bit but had I seen this hen I would have been sold on blues for sure.  Yes, please do breed her.

Yes, I plan on breeding more this year. Many people who outcross their Lav lines to Black (or even Blue) English birds have had great success in improving type of the resulting offspring.

What a beauty!  So gorgeous - she hardly should be called a chicken - there must be a fancier name for someone so stunning.
