Ameraucana genetics question

[NagemTX]

I thought they still weren't accepted?

They have been I think for a year or two. Splash just got in this year. The next one that's being worked on is Ermine.

Ermine is dominant white and black with other enhancers to get an even distribution I think. I absolutely know it's dominant white and black.

Is It possible to get black by breeding 2 other colors together?

Blue and blue or paint and paint could get you black.

 

[Amer]

I say could because it would only be 25 percent of the chicks.

So for nationals wheaten and blue wheaten in bantams rival blacks. Blue wheaten 21 and wheaten 26. Blacks 30.

Ah. I was only thinking of the Standard size. To me, bantam Ameraucanas are oddly proportioned d’Anvers that lay blue eggs. (D’Anvers are my favorite breed.)

For the record, my username is Amer because it used to be AMERAUCANAS4REAL and everyone called me Amer anyways. I used to want Ameraucanas but when I got them I discovered they weren’t my favorite breed. Not that there’s anything wrong with ’em.
