Lavender Ameraucana Cross with Ermine or Splash

[BeeSpice]

I have some Lavender Ameraucana pullets and a cockerel. I was thinking of getting myself some Ermine Ameraucana eggs for my birthday. I have been experimenting with chicken genetics . What would I get if I combine:

Lavender x Ermine
Lavender x White with Ermine
Lavender x Splash BBS

Since Lavender is a dilute of black you would get the following
Lav x Ermine = 50% Black 50% Ermine, all carrying Lav
Lav x Splash = 100% Blue, all carrying Lav
Lav x White = 100% Ermine, all carrying Lav
Lav x Black = 100% Black, all carrying Lav
Lav x Blue = 50% Black, 50% Blue, all carrying Lav.
Lavender can be used to substitute black in BBS pens and Ermine pens since it is a dilution of black. You could make some other varieties by using lavender in these pens.

This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

You could also get lavender ermine/lavender paint if you cross the lavender x ermines back to a lavender. And if you cross blue or splash to ermine you could get some blue ermines/blue paints. Keep in mind that these are project colors that don’t really exist in ameraucanas other than in experimental breedings.

Your welcome.

Huh, interesting. That is what I meant by other varieties, but I wasn't entirely sute on the mating to make the varieties.

To build off of this discussion, what would the results be for Splash x Ermine?

Erminette Ameraucanas are Paint Mottled birds.
They're Dominant White X Black Mottled.

About 50% blue and 50% blue emine

This is not correct. Ermine Ameraucana are not mottled at all. They are simply black and white paints probably with additional genes that cause the more even coverage instead of large splotches seen and bred towards in paint Silkies

Explain the other genes too me then? Since mottling makes more sense with the more organized pattern.
Besides Melanizers.

I do have a paint Hen, & cockerel, patterning is random, from some splotches to flecks.
