If I Breed Him With EE Girls, What Will I Get?

[The Monkey Mama]

Hey, if I breed this guy with my EE girls, what will I get?

Will those chicks carry the lethal gene [I *think* he's full bred Auracana, or close anyway]?

Will I get cute chicks or freak chicks?

Will his babies carry more of a blue egg gene? [he hatched out of a light bluish egg].

Trying to decide whether to keep him or not, he's so cool but I really don't NEED another roo... what do y'all think?

Thanks!

He looks gorgeous!

I would give it a shot. I bet the babies would look very nice!

Oh Yes!!! Don't pass him up--He's certainly beautiful!! More colorful eggs - and more colorful chickens!!

I would imagine you would get all kinds of crazy colors. May I ask where you got him?

I did end up giving him away today. It was very hard to do - *sniff sniff*.

But we live in the 'burbs and I am already pushing my luck keeping the two big roos I already have.

He is going to a great home though, so I feel good about that.

Herechickchick, I got him in a batch of supposedly "Ameraucana" eggs I bought on eBay.

Wow, neat cockerel, he's almost crele. Would have been worth working with I think!

Neat coloring on the cockerel.

Glad you found a good home for him.

I agree, I wish I had been there to snatch him up.

He went to live with another BYCer and I think she'll do great things with him.

Thank you all for being supportive of my attachment to that boy! LOL!
