Charlie you hit the nail on the head. It is a young project to me. I am not coming in on a genration 4, I am entering just "past go". A second generation mix that has the gene. Not in both parents. It is in one of them. And your idea of taking one of these boys back to their mom is right...

Kathy you know the first Bluish chick I shown on this thread, came out yellow too. I hatch like 40 plus eggs at a time. I had a dozen Ameraucana in with the first boy and his mates. When he hatched I would swear he was one of the Ameraucana babies. He was yellow like this. I...

Kathy I appreciate that pic.
This is what I am talking about doing. what Charlie says. he knows how to prove it.
:Why not just breed Him back to its known mother, she is or must be carrying the gene and will confirm its lavender or not.. you will want to hatch as many chicks as...
ANOTHER one??? With TUFTS?!?!?!?!
Does anyone know of any Lavender Ameraucana's or Araucana's that were mixed into the Lavender project? That BUS OEG lookin daddy must have been a cross of Black Orp or Australorp and something with tufts? lolol
I am lost how he is developing. Definite BUS...

That is one of the things they worked at eliminating early on. You'd have to talk to Deb or Bren about that to get the details, though. There is a thread at The Coop about breeding it out. Offhand I do not recall who it was that was able to eliminate it from their birds...
Very good reading. I think we may be gettin a glimpse of the day where these Lavs are accepted by the APA. IF their talking terminology, how much longer will it be before their accepted? I know I may be over reading inbetween the lines. But, that is the feeling I am getting. And that is a...

I'm as curious as you. IS he a SPLASH? lololol That was I thought till sreihart posted the chart. Then I guessed the BUS was genetically actin like a Black. And the chart said there would not be any splashes. Then I had several folks wonder IF they screwed up and...

It is alot of fun. I know which eggs are hers. I wait till I get 3 or 4 and throw them in and who knows nowwhat can come out? Including the 2 Black girls with BUS, the last hatch was 13 and one was the yellowish chick with green like legs.
This little guy was hatched 5 or 6 days...

Is there an age when this "test" works best - I guess to clarify does this test work after the first molt or 6 month molt? I ask because I have a very young Lavender Ameraucana chick from John Blehm (so I have no doubt it carries a double copy of the lav gene) - I will go and check the...

Here's the culprit. I REALLY like him. I still have Andy's bro Mertyl back in my cock pen. Mertly is not as typee a Black Australorp. And that would be even a longer shot, that Mert would have the same gene too. IF your partially responsible for Andy. I thank you...

Chris I totally appreciate you helping us out on this. I know to many it was more a pressing question about this guy then to me. However, I would like to know too. And adjust my breeding IF I choose to use him. him being BUSTOFF too, the daddy of this boy. BUS is the 1/2 Black...
