Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[halo]

Do the single combed lavenders lay a blue egg? Do you ever get single combed clean faced birds?

(Im just thinking here....).

They should have blue/slate legs and black/horn beaks, right Jean?

As far as knowing who the originators are, she did not get back to me on that subject. It made me question the validity of her birds a bit... I'm going to give them a good look over before I hand her the cash this evening, plus I plan on asking the question again, directly. So we'll see!

Yes, slate legs and the beaks are usually a white color with a blue cast. "Horn" is a wide range of color; I picture the different shades you see on cattle horns. They are never yellow.

These were bred up from D'anvers and OEGB. (single combs)

I haven't gotten a clean faced one yet either. Some a little lacking in the muff dept but never clean. Just single combs pop up here and there. A work in progress.

As for egg color. The splits lay a very pretty color (about a B2 on the egg chart), Lavs are a very light bluish/greenish/grey (about a C6) , and then my EE's is defiantly green. I working on color so again a work in progress.
