Here is my Lavender. He is 16 weeks. Can't wait to see if his feathers get better. This spring he will get his own ladies and pen.

Yes. Blues don't breed true and lavenders generally lack good feather quality.I am looking for some ameraucana's to add to my flock. I have a choice between blue,black,splash and lavender. Is there a difference between them besides feather color?

[COLOR=333333]I highly recommend visiting the Ameraucana Alliance website and forum. You can read and learn so much from other posts and the bonus if you join is asking questions and getting answers from some of the country's finest breeders, many of whom were instrumental in the development and acceptance of Ameraucanas by the ABA and APA.[/COLOR]

Good question! A simple exercise with the Punnet Square would prove that blue x blue breeds true....Well said, @samouw I must admit frustration at how much I hear it repeated that blue doesn't breed true... I just don't understand where that is coming from...
Thanks everyone! I ended up ordering a dozen lavender hatching eggs for april. There is a local breeder who has a very good rep. I do not plan to breed in the next 5 years, but may do so once kids are a bit older. We only have half an acre of land. Of the 12, I will be keeping 3 and selling the rest.
I ordered from Once in a blue moon. But they are LF. Her pictures are so gorgeous. But I really want to focus on bantams. What to do...
