I hatched this cockerel out of some bbs ameraucana hatching eggs. He is light blue and looks similar to lavender. Does anyone have any ideas for a breeding project I could use him for? He has nice lacing and a good temperament so I don’t want to get rid of him. I think his color is gorgeous. Any ideas would be helpful! I’m just looking for some new, fun ideas.

Im pretty sure a smooth blue is desirable for some breeds, just not Andalusians.
I know that bbs is partially blue but typically people want a darker blue with lacing so I didn’t want to put him with them. I’m just looking for something else to do with him

well cross breeding him would likely be even less desirable for most people so idk... I suppose it might look good over a wheaten (maybe find one that lays dark brown eggs for olive eggers), but that smoothness might not stick.

If I bred him to a pullet that looks just like him what would the offspring look like?

Most likely 50% like the parents with smooth blue, 25% black and 25% splash. I'd love to know how it actually ends up turning out! and Im especially curious about how the splashes would look. I make a genetics simulation game modification and Im always trying to collect information on small things like this.

Okay, this does sound like an interesting project but first I’m going to have to find some pullets like him lol. That may be the difficult part
