White ameracauna/lavender ameracauna mix? What will i get?

[Amer]

I did some digging after seeing your post and most everything I can find is from 5+ years ago, but it's indicating that most White Ameraucanas are recessive with only a few dominant white flocks in existence. I get the feeling recessive white was preferred due to being superior at covering gold pigment as compared to dominant white, just based on what I've reading just now.


To the OP, if your bird is dominant white, crossing her to Lavender would make Paint as Amer says, which is white with varying amounts of black flecks. The chicks would still carry lavender as well.





Splash crossed to Lavender would make Blue chicks, all carrying Lavender. A Lavender bird crossed to anything but another Lavender or lavender-carrying bird acts the same as a Black bird because of lavender being recessive, so this is essentially the same as crossing Splash to Black.

Ok. I think recessive white produced bluer legs while dominant produces white.

Very likely another reason that recessive white seems to have been favored for the breed, I didn't think of that either. Dominant white does have a little bit of a washing out effect on slate legs that doesn't seem to occur with recessive white from my understanding.

Got it! Thank you this really helped!

Who has these flocks, and where are they?

Would it be possible to make a Lavender splash Ameraucana?

Yeah, but it would be kind of ugly I think. Probably almost white but not quite.

Referring to the White Ameraucana flocks with dominant white instead of recessive white? I don't know, personally. That was only what I was finding when reading on the subject.

Possible, yes, but my understanding is that you wouldn't really be able to see much of a difference between that bird and a regular Splash. Most prefer not to cross Lavender into Blue because you just tend to end up with what looks like Blue but a little paler. I don't know if the case is the same with Splash or if, as Amer says, it would just be an almost white bird.

Oh, it sounds like it would be an interesting bird though.

I had a lavender blue and she was lovely and soft-feathered.
But she was just an even almost white with darkish shafts to the feathers.
