Does anyone close to Gainesville Ga have Ameracaunas that are really potent as far as passing on egg color when crossed?

Well since you put it that way, an ameracauna that doesn't meet the SOP, so an ee. I just need strong enough egg color genes to pass on when crossed with a leghorn.

you would probably be better off to go with a pure bred Colored Egg Layer, EE's genes are already diluted.

We LOVE our EE's!!! One tufted, one not.
Since they started laying they have been the most productive of our flock (16 in all)

I'l get some good pics and post.

I wouldn't expect any silkie feathered chicks, it's a recessive trait, so it takes a couple generations to have the silkie feathering to be expressed in a bird.

ETA: They will most likely look like a typical EE with a small feather crest, feathered feet and darker skin.

yes. and a walnut comb and 5th toe.
