Easter Egger. She's a cutie.

:D

They do. Well, not all of them do. But it is extremely common, and the main thing that causes the confusion between EEs and Ameraucanas.

They do have black AMs

I know MurrayMcMurray has BBS Ameraucanas, but they also say their birds sometimes throw white offspring, so it might be possible they have recessive white in their lines.

No worries. You’re not usually wrong, and when you are you’re not usually far off, so I was just trying to figure out what you were saying, as I couldn’t quite follow. But yeah, no worries. We all have our misunderstandings. 😊

Yes, you were. The only thing I can think fits what were saying is the only way to get olive eggs from crossing a blue carrying rooster to a homozygous blue laying female is for the rooster to be heterozygous. But that doesn’t fit in this context as OP has no blue laying hens that they mentioned.

Yes ma’am.

Yep, you’ll get olive eggs. Probably black muffed birds with modified pea combs and likely some leakage.

Maybe I am just not understanding what you’re saying, but no. You would know he was only heterozygous if he produced brown laying offspring, not olive. for his daughter to inherit both of his blue egg genes presuming he had two. Therefore if she inherited ONE blue egg gene from him, you would...

@Miss Thang your logic is flawed. It makes no difference if the rooster has one blue egg gene or two. You only need one O gene to create green eggs. And the offspring only inherits half of the parents genes. Therefore the only difference regarding egg color in crossing (O/O) x (o+/o+) and...

You will get green, however to get a true olive you would want to cross to a dark brown layer. Cream/tan will most likely give you a lighter green color.

My signal isn’t great here, so I’m having trouble opening the photos to get a good look to comment on gender. So for my post I’ll just be commenting under the assumption he is a black Ameraucana cockerel. To barred plymouth rock, you will have sexlinks. The males will be barred, and the females...

While we're on the topic of cuckoo, they don't breed Ameraucanas, but they breed several varieties of cuckoo- particularly in their bantam cochins, and I find myself drooling over them almost daily. I would die for some of their birds...

I love cuckoo of pretty much any color. Something about them is just so incredible. :drool Isabelle cuckoo, lavender cuckoo, and buff cuckoo are probably my top three. But I just need all the colors!! 🤣

Unfortunately I have not owned any, all the BW AMs I had grew up into handsome young cockerels. :P

Your best bet would probably to check out the Ameraucana Breeders Club directory and find you state. http://ameraucanabreedersclub.org/docs/breedersdirectory_state.pdf

That's always the struggle isn't it? Never enough space. In the future I'd love to breed whites, BBS wheaten, as well as a few project colors such as crele, isabelle, cuckoo, isabelle cuckoo, and probably a few other colors of cuckoo. Don't even getme started on all the bantam cochin colors I...

I absolutely adore them as well. The contrast of the orange/mahogany to the blue is just divine. Blue wheaten is probably my favorite currently accepted variety.
