You must have a much larger sampling, scientifically speaking, to be able to say a bird breeds true a certain percentage of the time.
Who says you need a larger sampling?? the apa just says breed true 50% of the time...not you have to hatch out 100 eggs and 50 of those have to be white....That is 50% no matter how you want to turn it.... so....That would be breeding true 50% of the time!! Are they pure ameraucanas.... YEP they are!
I say it has to be more for one simple fact. Any scientific study is done in large numbers, anything less is being lazy. If you want to put the effort in then do it. You're being unrealistic as far as only hatching 2, you know that is not a fair number to assess anything
, I remember that from school so long ago.......
eta- the you is not directed specifically, don't want it taken wrong
