Lavender Ameraucana Breeders .... UNITE

[BarnGoddess01]

On my computer that chair looks tan. Lavenders should be an even color of grey which in poultry is called blue, so an even color of blue.

It's actually called "self-blue". You are correct about the even colour of grey.

"Blue" in poultry usually shows a darker edging or lacing around each feather, and a darker hackle/head.

Right, Got the lav feather color breeding nicely. Now, I am trying to figure out what bay eyes look like. I have seen posts that some have had to cull for golden eyes.

Yes, The eye color shows up very clear. You did a critique on the other thread for someone that posted a pic. That was also helpful. I had an ahh-ha moment and the visual kind of anchored the info in my brain. Thank you !!

My critiques don't catch everything. I am new to all this. Right now I can just tell I don't like it... then I go look at what I like and can tell the differences. Yesterday I started to critique my Marans.... I had a check list of all the DQ's and Faults and a sketch of what they should look like. I am going to have to do that will all my chickens for a while. One day it will come to me without the crutches.

Great thead. Thanks very muc for starting it.

I have a small flock of Blehm Lavender Ameraucana bantams that I'm growing out to breed for myself. They're almost to the POL and are all lavender. Is there a good line of black bantams that anyone could recommend?

I'm glad I found this thread. I am canning my wheatens due to just having so much trouble getting quality birds. I plan to keep my blacks, and I just ordered some lavs and blacks for spring. I am glad I have a place to learn and discuss without feeling completely stupid.
