    Has anyone ever crossed an amerucauna and creme legbar? Will it enhance blue? I think I remember someone mention it somewhere before.

    I agree and understand the barring. I am just saying in my experiences. I know that about 90-95 % will be male with larger head spot. And occasionally one with smaller spot will be.

    I had some OE fall into my Brinsea . Both have a cuckoo Marans over them. One is my Olive egger girl and the other is a lavender amerucauna. Trying to get a darker shade of olive (f2) and an olive egger with the amerucauna. Hopefully barred :D

    I would try the amerucauna to make a blue egg layer offspring then cross to one of your Marans to make a green egg layer.

    I have a question. Has or does anyone have a Cuckoo Marans over a lavender amerucauna picture of the offspring? Will they be barred lavender? (Which would be awesome) I have a lavender amerucauna in with my cuckoos to make an olive egger off spring, just curios!
