The Official Forum of the Ameraucana Breeders Club > Breeding
Some hidden genes.

John, sombody asked if I would post a picture of another sport out of a B/B/S pen, supposedly no chance of a pen jumper. I have not figured out the picture posting here yet, so here\'s a link to the other forum page [if that\'s all right].

I\'ve also heard tell of another type of blue that is so light it looks white. Standard recessive white Ameraucana chicks should look like the one posted on our ABC photos page though.

I don\'t recall ever seeing any like it. The owner did say \"One splash hen is unknown breeder, small, scrawny compared to the others\", so maybe that is the key to the mystery.

It\'s easier than some forums and not as easy as others. If you can reduce your pics to under 50KB, it is as easy as any. The instructions are here...

That is clearly a crossbred rooster. White shanks don\'t come out of nowhere in pure Ameraucana stock, and his comb appears to be half single, half pea. Either that or he is out of easter eggers. That red leakage would not come out of pure Ameraucana blacks and blues either.

Thank you John, I need to play with my computer to learn to downsize the pics.

Thanks for the input Mike, those were my thoughts also [though those may be pale slate rather than white shanks], and would suspect the splash hen was an EE. [I\'ve experienced that :p] I had to wonder why that hen, as she described her, was in the breeding pen anyway; but everybody has different ways of doing things I guess.

John I wonder if these will grow up to be the smokey whites similar to what I showed you in Ky.I thought at that time that it was the work of the lavender gene but now I think no.I will be saving a pair of these for further study.
