    I have a roo who is a chocolate silver duckwing with pink earlobes. When I get a breeding pen set up I was thinking of putting a Saphire (CCLxWLH) pullet with him to see if the offspring will keep the pink earlobes. I also have an OE hen who is a silver that I think I want to pair with him...

    The blue gene is dominant so if you have an Ameraucana (not an EE which may only be carrying one blue egg gene) you will get chickens that lay olive eggs. If you cross an EE with an a dark egg layer then you may get an olive egger or a brown egg layer if the EE only has one blue gene to contribute.

    That is so cool. I don't know what his egg gene is yet. Haven't hatched any eggs from him yet. His Earlobes are candy heart pink and I haven't seen that on any breed of chicken. All of my hens have the blue egg gene and he has the pea comb so it is likely. Of the hens I have two Blue Laced, one...

    Have any of you had your Olive Eggers come out with pink earlobes? I have an F2 Olive Egger roo who has developed pink earlobes. He is about nine months of a Black Copper Maran/Ameraucana cross. He is a brown silver duckwing with a nice pea comb. I will try to get a picture of him tomorrow.

    I have a cockeral that started as a dark brown chick with a white chest splash who has grown out to be a Chocolate Silver Duckwing Olive Egger. He is from a Maran/EE or Am cross and F2 generation. But I just noticed today that his earlobes are PINK! Comb and wattles all the normal red but he has...

    I am trying to figure out what color this fluff becomes.This is the first chick this color that my chickens have given me. All the others have been black, blue, or silver chipmunk fluffs. An older silver chipmunk chick has a black laced white head and partridge feathers on the body for...

    Well the Ameraucana and the Easter Egger are close cousins. In fact sometimes closer. Let me explain. Ameraucanas who are bred to the Standard of Perfection for show come in only a certain number of accepted colors (feather color). If you cross the colors on each other AND are not working...

    But if you take one of the sons and cross it back to the mother you should keep the olive color and increase the egg laying of the next generation by a percentage. Since people are clamoring for them and it is hard to get it could be worth going 4 generations to get improvements. Meanwhile...

    It has happened accidentally when people have had their Cream Legbar get in with their Rhoderbars on the sly. Ihliani I notice that you have Isbars. Have you ever crossed one of them with a dark egg breed or with a blue to see how it affected the shade of green they have?

    As I understand it, the Brits don't have a tailless, blue egg laying chicken at all either with tufts or beards. Occasionally they will have one of their Auracanas born without a tail so that indicates that the Collancas (where the tailless gene came from) had some part of their makeup but not...

    You are right about the Hamburgs. That is where the Rose Comb comes in. But you are do not seem to be aware of the larger history of the South American breeds.
