Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Quote:
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

Really? Poo.
 
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
