He looks like he has some faverolle coloring. If his offspring layed green eggs then he probably carries a blue or green egg gene. The only way to know what he carries is to hatch crosses between him and some white egg layers. Blue is dominant and will come through if he carries it. BSLs are...
It would. I'm considering working on a Cream Wheaten, considering my "Wheaten" isn't. His hatch mate sister lays olive eggs and his brother looks like a standard wheaten. They all hatched from blue eggs, but until I test this guy I won't know what egg color he'll pass on.
I've never heard of a khaki Ameraucana. The Ameraucana Breeder Club is where I get my reference for Ameraucanas from. http://www.ameraucana.org/
There are a lot of great helpers here. I would caution you about certain crosses as they do not breed true. Those with Black Blue Splash can help...
Thank you!
How does the crest and beard transfer? Muff beard should be expressed if the gene is present, right? And I haven't researched the crest genetics yet. Is it one of those fatal genes?
Forgive my naivety and thank you in advance.
There is so much great information here. I haven't read it all. Could someone summarize what happened with the Ambar attempts? I have a Wheaten Ameraucana cockerel and a Crested Cream Legbar pullet. I also have other birds, but wondered how this specific cross would turn out.
