Ameraucana rooster leakage

[shaw613]

I purchased this ameraucana from a breeder. She was holding him back for a possible show prospect until the leakage started to come in. I'm not interested in breeding for show; just enjoy the colorful eggs and will likely use him for at least this year. What is likely the cause/cross that this type of leakage would come from? Just curious what it will cause down the road in his offspring.

I have EE's and when I let a broody hen hatch some chicks, all the chicks are from the same mom and dad and they were all different colors. No two were alike. It is hard to say if the leakage will affect offspring coloring, or if the leakage will look amazing in the offspring. I personally like EE's because no two are the same coloring or personality.

He's a purebred Americana rather than an ee. Those boys can be really vivid!! This guy should be all blue

I'm unsure of what genes will pass to his offspring, which genes are recessive or dominate for him and it would depend on the hen too. I know americana and EE are different I was just giving mine as an example because all the chicks had different color patterns. He was a gorgeous EE rooster of all sorts of colors (grey/blues, and greens), very eye catching and he would've been one for the fair. His offspring roosters were all different colors, one was different browns and greens, another was all white, and the third was all grey/blue and all these chicks came from the same hen. It is tough to say what genes will pass to his offspring.
Hopefully an expert can help out with if the leakage will pass to his offspring.
