    When Breeding for Egg Color...

    When Breeding to produce Olive Eggers, does it matter which is the rooster and which is the hen? For instance, if I have a FBCM rooster and an Ameraucana hen, would the eggs be a deeper green than if I bred an Ameraucana rooster to FBCM hen or does this have nothing to do with it? Is one way...

    Ameraucana: Can "impurities" be bred out?

    Through selective breeding, is it at all possible to eventually breed out anything NOT Ameraucana and end up with pure Ameraucanas eventually? Say for instance Sally breeds her very Ameraucana looking Easter Egger to a true, pure Ameraucana hen and then those babies are bred to a pure Ameraucana...

    You make a great and valid point and I agree with you, but I picked out the "less desirable" two for a couple of reasons. First one being that one of my two incubators is MIA and the famous "I don't know" has come to visit our household again (imagine that!) :) Alas, the incubator I have fits...

    ...no matter what AND I can take the advice of the person who recommended the gene test. We shall see what transpires. Thanks again, everyone :) **Some of them look really light, for sure, but they do all have some level of blue(ish), the camera on my phone isn't good at conveying what's...

    Right on. I wish I'd read this before my last reply to this thread, but it's something to think about and we'll see what the seller says to my request for a partial refund. You all are absolutely right. The only important thing to me is that he is Ameraucana (I don't care if he's all colors of...

    Ok, so, but he DOES look Ameraucana (Splash) to you all otherwise (save for the leakage)and not Easter Egger? How probable is it that his "Black" father was so dark blue that he appeared black to the untrained eye? Those questions aside, I did contact the seller and let her know that the further...

    In trying to figure all of this out, I found this AI generated answer to "Black Ameraucana rooster and Blue Ameraucana Hen produce what offspring". Now, I'm thoroughly confused. Your input is appreciated. What say you?: Per Google search... "When breeding a black Ameraucana rooster with a blue...

    VERY strange. They look Ameraucana, but...I don't know how to really be sure. I kind of just want to ask for at least a partial refund and put the eggs in my fridge truth be told. If I knew for sure they're just haphazardly bred Ams, I can deal with that. Gahhh!

    I appreciate your kind words and your guidance. I've learned a lot in the process, myself. What's that they say about the best learning taking place when teaching? Someone said that, right? lol I think whoever said it is honestly onto something! I am not prioritizing standards/recognized...

    Ameraucana Genetics Clarification

    Dear Lord...When asked if she could let me know why he might have the red leakage or if she could give me any info on his parentage, she said that she hatched him from a black rooster bred to either a black hen or a blue hen. I told her it must have been the blue hen since black on black would...

    Yes I did ask and I'm just waiting to hear back. I've asked that woman so many questions, I know she just wished I would go away. As I said, she is brand-new to Ameraucanas and even thought that she had Silver as opposed to Blues before I clued her in. It's been an adventure for sure or that...

    **MORE INPUT, PLEASE (sorry for hollering lol) More pictures from seller of her Ameraucana flock. I'm now nervous. Please tell me that rooster IS a Splash Ameraucana, albeit a very poor speciment (and NOT an EE) before I ask this woman for a refund. I'll eat the shipping cost, but I purchased...

    **UPDATE: Seller admitted being new (not new to chickens or breeding, but new to breeding Ameraucanas) and having not "done this for very long". She stated that "some call them Silver, some call them Blue". I let her know that there are both Blue and Silver (and even Lavender) Ameraucanas and...
