I have a question regarding Silver Ameracauna's. Are they produced by breeding black and white? Curious if adding black or white can refine the coloration.
Nope, they're a completely different color variety...

No. Silver is the base color, it's different from white. Black is a pattern gene. White Ameraucana are actually recessive white, modifying solid black. You need the partridge/duckwing pattern gene and the silver base color gene for Silver Ameraucana.I have a question regarding Silver Ameracauna's. Are they produced by breeding black and white?

Cockerels. All cockerels. Ameraucana can be slow to develop. They are just a bit too young for clearly visible male feathering, and just a bit too old to have such well developed combs.Hello everyone!
I posted these babies 4 weeks ago...they are now 12 weeks old. Go ahead and tell me what I'm afraid you are going to tell me...
