Would making Malays that lay colored eggs, make them more attractive, or no? Was just a thought that popped.

I would make them more attractive to me!

Are you trying to figure out if your blue ameraucana rooster is silver/silver or silver/gold?

I actually want to test the roosters I have. I have a blue ameraucana and a lavender ameraucana rooster.

Golden are supposed to be S/s+ so they are not good for test breeding. Also it' just not any gold based birds, they must carry very powerful columbian restrictors to be able to show leakage color on Extended black birds otherwise they will just hatch all black and feathered all black until adulthood where the males will get some leakage on hackles/saddles

I have no buffs at all. Sigh, should have keep the buff Brahma I had on order. I figured as much on the Golden but wanted to check.

I would cross them to a silver columbian hen (like a Delaware). That way, if you get any offspring with gold, red, or yellow, you’ll know the father has the gold gene. A silver/silver rooster to a silver hen will produce all silver chicks. However, you will have to find a way to separate the lavender’s chicks from the blue’s to figure out which rooster has which genes.

I may have to get something like that at some point to test. Don't have any right now and had not planed on getting any. I wonder if the light ameraucanas would work for that if I could get my hands on some.

Probably not. I don't think the reason most people don't get them is just because they don't lay colored eggs

Not to me. As a matter of personal taste I don't find the type and stance of Asian games attractive.

I know that, I was just asking if it would make them more attractive.

There's actually a misconception that they're the most aggressive/dangerous chicken breed, which I believe is the reason not more people are willing buy them.
