Ameraucana coloring

[MissD'uccle]

Hello all!! If I put a blue wheaten roo in with my B/B/S Ameraucana hens would they breed recognized colors? I have someone who wants to give me an "old" (2 years) showbird but he is blue wheaten and I've been getting together my B/B/S pen. He is gorgeous though so I'm just trying to get opinions on what that would do to my breeding pen. Thanks for the input!

I wouldn't do it...your offspring would be (i think) BBS with red leakage

Absolutly not, They will make non-standard colored Ameraucanas

You may get some that are visually all b/b/s , but it really should not be done due to the red leakage in the future offspring on those that appear to be properly colored from the mating .

Thank you! Thats what I thought but wanted to double check. I'll pass on him and get a B/B/S rooster at the next show. Thanks ya'll!
