Thank you for quoting that, John. So you are admitting that you received your start in bantams from Mike Gilbert, one year after they were accepted by the ABA?

Don't have to be a member to read the actual archives. Just go to AmeraucanaBreedersClub.org/archives.html.

Interesting reading, from 1989. Particularly the article, "How to Increase the Vitality of My Flock" by John Blehm, page 5 http://www.ameraucanabreedersclub.org/docs/bulletins/ABC%20Bulletin%201989%20vol%2011%201.pdf Of course, this was written 6 years after all eight varieties of the...

And lets not forget Don Cable - he and Mike Gilbert were the original founders of the Ameraucana Bantam Club, which later became the Ameraucana Breeders Club and is still going strong today - nearly 40 years later. For anyone wanting to research the history of the Ameraucana, you can read what...

Cute chicks! I know you're thrilled to get started with them. :) Just for historical accuracy and to give credit where credit is due, Harry Shaffer also created his own line of lavenders, aka self-blue, at about the same time that John Blehm and Michael Muenks were working on their line...

I agree...as one of the original creators of the large fowl lavenders, he would be one of the go-to folks.

Paul Smith and Jean Ribbeck Co-chair the breeder team for the acceptance of self blue, aka lavender.

2017 New Member Drawing! Every year, at our National Meet, we put all the new member's names, that have joined since the last National, into a hat and draw out one winner. So far, since we started this program, we've shipped out two incubators, and one Eco Glow 20 Brooder Heater. This...

Thank you, Walt, for that clarification. For the newer members, Walt is the Chairman of the APA Standards Committee.

Since we are talking about poultry, and specifically breeds accepted into the APA/ABA Standard - ie. Ameraucana, breeding true is defined as the APA/ABA accepted definition; ergo, "breeding true" is accepted as valid if like bred to like produces like at least 50% of the time.

I saw a couple of her LF self-blue hens at the Dixie Classic and was very impressed! Excellent type and color. I think you'll be very happy with those.

Good luck with your new birds. Hope all goes well with them.

Good question! A simple exercise with the Punnet Square would prove that blue x blue breeds true.... Since blue is the result of a dilute gene that is dominant, only one copy is necessary for the chick to be blue. If both copies are the dominant version (BlBl), then the chick will be...

Black is probably the most stable, and most readily available, of all the 8 accepted varieties of Ameraucana, with blue and splash following behind. Lavender is not yet an APA/ABA accepted variety, per my post above, but is in process. Splash is next on the list for the Ameraucana Breeders...

Blues do breed true or they would never have been accepted into the APA or the ABA, in any breed. The rule is that they must breed true at least 50%, which they do. There are a lot of excellent resources for valid information about Ameraucanas in general, and lavenders in particular. The...

Quote: The self-blue/lavender variety is pending acceptance by the APA. The petition was submitted by the ABC this past January and accepted unanimously by the APA Board of Directors at their annual meeting in Modesto, CA. Now we just have to meet the show requirements for the Standards...

You can find breeders here, by name: ameraucanabreedersclub.org/docs/breedersdirectory_2015.pdf or here, by state: ameraucanabreedersclub.org/docs/breedersdirectory_2015_state.pdf Look for those breeders who breed "self-blue", as they are not listed as lavender on our site. :) You can also...

There are a couple of pictures here http://ameraucanabreedersclub.org/gallery.html Click on the "Large Fowl AOV" tab. There is a pic of a self-blue/lavender chick and one of a pullet.

As my father, a retired Army colonel, awarded the Bronze Star two times, Green Beret, and survivor at Pearl Harbor, once told me, "it doesn't make sense to fight the battle, when the war is already won." With or without your consent or approval, John, the petition for approval of self blue will...

By "they", I assume you are including the Alliances honorary Vice President, who also disagrees with your contentions? "Location: Western Wisconsin Joined: 6/2013 Posts: 111 offline As Leonard stated they are one and the same. "
