Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

So, you mean you want to create a Dun/Chocolate Ameraucana? (or khaki, or platinum, etc)

An easy route is getting some of Jean's stock, really. My buff hen was once hers, and she's the one who often mentioned the fact that she had darks, lights, and some occasional black/browns.

And if you're into making dun/platinum/khaki Am's, cross out to black and keep doing it but with dun carrying birds. Get rid of all the color leakage you can.

You make it sound so easy...

LOL.

I'd be more interested in Platinum and Khaki colored birds, yes. Another project to be filed away for the future I guess.
 
But they don't lay pretty blue eggs or have cute beards and muffs.

It would be easier, I could just cross my Platinum Sumatra to a Black Wyandotte and work on type (among other things) from there...

Darn yellow legs.

Yes but in speaking of type, Wyandottes and Sumatras are far from each other, as far as a Wyandotte is from a good Ameraucana.

Right, but you would just need one mating to get the desired genes and then you could just cross back to quality Wyandottes to regain type...

Anyways, back to Ameraucanas.
