Question...
Does she breed true?
Thanks!
Only has to 50% of the time....go back and read your breeders club guidelines or request the standard from the APA.... David Anderson at the APA is a nice guy and always willing to answer emails. If I was showing her it wouldn't matter if she bred true or not....she would be being graded on her apearance only...
Very few Araucana or Ameraucan breed true. Araucanas never breed true in the tuft dept 100% of the time....The genetcs around it make that not possible.... you will get clean face, single sidded tufts, a few douple tufts and dead chicks....
The point that the purests on here miss contantly is that the traits that the two breeds where developed from come from hatchery stock chicks.... With enough hatchery chicks and through selective breeding either breed can be re-developed from hatchery stock.....
