Wow, gorgeous eggs. Where do you get a color chart?

Ok, google is a wonderful thing
here is the color chart ordering info

(PS. does anyone want a free 10 week old Black Ameraucana Cockerel hatched from Cree Farms eggs (B/B/S)? You pay shipping.)

yep thats where I got mine, sent a check and it came

eta some of the colors are so nice I wish there was a name of the breeder that had the chooks that made them.

I am getting two they should be in the mail but since I don't own ameraucana I will just put them in a envelope and send them to anyone who want one. I will reserve on for FLF because she bought my Ameraucana flock.

Awwww... that's sweet

Thank you! Your kids are all doing great, a bit spoiled though, they keeping picking all the BOSS out of thier crumbles and looking at me like "More.... Puhlease?" while still having a feeder full of crumbles remaining. The blue made a run for it today when I was cleaning thier pen, luckily she took a step out realized she was alone and scurried back to the rest of the flock.

I just got an egg from one of my split lavs!!!! They haven't given me eggs for about 3-4 months. Hopefully it keeps up and I can start filling my long list of orders

Yahoo!

Speckledhen, the girls look gorgeous! Glad to see they are feeling more like themselves!

AHappychick love the egg photo.

cherylcohen That is quite an elegant looking EE, and nice eggs!​

I have to say about the charts I wish they were larger so the color swatches were bigger.

You could go to a copy store, have them make an enlarged color copy and laminate it for you.

I'm thinking(could be wrong) that Quality lavender bantam was used with Quality Large Fowl Blacks to create this line , size was bred for and one can introduce Quality Lavender Bantams plus can introduce quality LF Blacks at any time while breeding for size .

I obviously have a lot more to learn. upthecreek, I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you are saying, but then again my original comments may not really make sense either...
I found a cool site though, through google: http://www.edelras.nl/chickengenetics/
I've got a lot more reading to do

thanks

yes I think I just might do that.

Sorry for my mumbo jumbo gramer etc lol . I was just saying that one can take their LF Lavender Ameraucanas and use quality LF Blacks to breed into them . Also one could use Quality Bantam Lavenders to breed into their LF Lavenders (but keep in mind to look for larger size) .

Selection for brood pen is then up to the breeder . One needs to get all the help , advice and techniques they can from the reliable breeders(like as the Smith Blacks-mentioned by pips&peeps)(plus the sight you mentioned) .

That's about it ,
