I currently have self-blue or what,others call lavender Ameraucanas. I think overall this line (lavenders)need more work in the males tail feather plumage overall but you can find some nice ones if you raise enough to select from and over the years it has vastly improved. I raised a run of the mill variety of Ameraucanas in the late 70s in FFA, took a 34 year break for an Air Force career and now back to them. A lot has been accomplished with them during my break. I find them to be just a bit on the skittish side when young compared to some Barred Rocks they were raised with. I find that flightishness to be slowly disappearing as they age. A good breed for me.
