All the F1's will be split/black in color. Lavender is indeed introduced that way, but color isn't all. Although that's how it seems with how poor of quality most Lavender chickens are these days, it takes getting the breed traits in too.

For Ameraucanas, it is keeping a true breeding of slate legs, blue eggs, muffs/beard, pea comb, and the right body type.

I asked on this thread because I was here reading, but I'm not thinking of doing that with Ameraucanas...You are right, they have too many other breed things that wouldneed to be address. I was thinking of 2 other breeds that are very similar....but I'm not telling!LOL

Well just remember - Don't be too excited about selling anything or making money or getting acceptance until several generations down the road when your product breeds true to the standard.
