Yeah, any non-barred bird, thus any recognized color of Ameraucana over a barred hen will give sex links.

Oh yeah---any color but white, that is!
I didn't think about you being in Canada--not sure what barred breeds are available there. I'm going to use barred Hollands from Ideal for my blue egg sex links--they should be here in May
Congrats! I have my breeding stock all lined up, just need the health issues to resolve so I can go home and start incubating.....
