Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

The lavender gene is recessive. In order to get lavender, a bird has to have two recessive genes.

A lavender split only has one lavender recessive gene. When bred with another lavender split the chances are 50/50 that you'll get a Lavender. When bred with a lavender, you have a 75% chance of getting lavenders. Lavender X Lavender gives 100% lavenders.

Spilt X split = only 25% lavs, 50% splits and 25% blacks
Split x lav = 50/50

Levi will be going to live with HBuehler in Tennesse this weekend. She'd better get him before my banty Cochin kicks his butt into next week! Poor Levi, battered by a 1 lb ball of fluff, plus at roost time, a broody hen intent on murder! He was yelling in fear, poor guy.

Cyn, you must be sad to see him go, but pleased to have found a good home for him. I hope we will continue to get pictures and updates on Levi from Tennessee. I've really enjoyed watching this cutie-pie grow up.
He is a BYC star

We are looking forward to bringing Levi home to his new girls.It's like organizing a peace treaty though..I'm picking him up and making 2 more stops for more birds before coming home..so have to get everyone at home in the right time frames.Its better than a 600 mile round trip for one roo though

I didn't even bother to ask my husband to go with me..he says it's insane but he announced yesterday he would be coming with me..so he can my see my 20th Anniversary present when I get it.YEAH how many people get a rooster for a 20th wedding present..he truly loves me
