That's interesting, Jody. I put the question to some learned people at Classroom @ the Coop and was told that the blacks with the best beetle-green sheen in their feathers are gold-based. It is definitely gold shining through there. His sire was Lynn's roo, Jet, from Cree lines out of Washington State, but his mother was her blue Ameraucana pullet, NayNay, whose lines are a bit less prestigious. I will be interested to see what comes from them, for sure. I think no matter, his feathers are just so beautiful with that intense green sheen he has. I am not an Ameraucana breeder and this sort of happened by accident, but I like them very much. I've learned alot about the breed from so many people, you included.
