Hi... I'm new to the ameraucana thread I have a question... And maybes its been answered somewhere, but I'm not ready to read all 19000 posts(lol)

If you get chicks from a wheaten roo over black hens, they would still be purebred ameraucana right? Even though they might not be a Showable color??

You can breed blues to black, and blue wheatons to normal wheatons.
