I've completed a swap page which I'll add a link to in my signature momentarily. Could CPL, Madamwlf and CJWaldon please look it over to confirm that it is indeed, correct? Thanks!

OK on a similar note, maybe someone can help me with bird genetics....my first shipped eggs were back in the summer, BBS Ameraucana. I had three chicks hatch, turned out I have one black, one splash, and one pure white which I was not expecting. Does anyone know how this happens? What causes a pure white chick to pop out? What colors will I produce with a white Ameraucana? Disclaimer: this is the first time I've asked this question and have not done ANY research on it, so if there's a thread that will answer the question for me I apologize!

I know with the Legbars both the rooster and the hen have to be carriers of the recessive white gene. When the gene expresses itself in the chick, you get a pure white bird, completely void of color.

Maybe it's the same with the Ameraucanas.
