Ok I have a question...what are some color projects other than Lavender in the Ameraucana world?

Chicken stalker is working on Lavender Wheaten, otherwise. . . I don't think anyone else is working on non-recognized colors.

Well I was sitting here planning out my next couple of years and I do believe I want to start a few projects but I want to be sure I still really focus on my recognized colors as well. I don't want to be overwhelmed. I already am adding Buff Bantams and Lavender Bantams. Then I had two other color projects in mind. I don't know if that would be too much for me

Well I hate uncovering ideas but they are just ideas but I was kind of thinking Bantam Blue and Black Mottled which isn't a new idea but the color hasn't really gotten off the ground IMO, and Mahoganey(sp?)/Red Bantam Ameraucanas again not a new idea but one that hasn't gotten any attension.

But I want to get some nice recognized color stock first but would love to work with someone else on these colors once I'm ready. I was thinking about using Mottled d'Anver hens for the Mottleds w/ a Ameraucana rooster. I have read the type comes from father. And for the Mahoganey/Red Bantams I was thinking Bantam Buckeye hens with some color rooster.

You mean blue laced gold, right?

No, a gold laced blue. Ok, so what am I missing. Is this impossible?
