How is the egg color at this point?

Mine are not laying yet. Most of the eggs they came from were good size and color.

I sure would like some hatching eggs from them when they do start laying and I'm sure many others will as well!! Good job!

I know that getting Lavs accepted is the current focus, but these would be a nice next variety. Once again, shank and eye color (and type) are issues to be overcome. I believe that Jean's Chocolates will also be popular.

I think it is important to remember that without a sufficient number of breeders commited for the required number of years and to exhibiting this or any variety, it is only a bunch of pretty project birds.

The Mottleds are gorgeous!

What did you use to introduce the mottling gene into Ameraucanas?

Wasn't me. The Spring Ameraucana Bulletin details the origins and club members who have been working on this variety.

Yes, now that is the trick

I am working on the lavenders and buffs and it is hard to be patient when they need so much work!

Good luck!

OMG I have to get some of those.

Are you mixing any in with the lavenders? I'd like to see lav mottled as well.
