Laced Blue Ameraucana
Chicklover:
So far the F1 from my Ameraucana and Andalusions I have seen that the tail carriage, leg size and comb are something that are going to need work. I believe that they will be easy to get back where I need then in the f3 and on once I get the genes for lacing set. The Lacing is look really good. I will post picks in a couple of days.

I can't get the pictures right for the Forum. I posted a pic on the BYC website. Along with my thoughts on the breedings. You can see it at:

Yes I agree once we get the lacing patterns then it will not be too hard to get back to Ameraucana. I am hoping to see good results in F3 generation. It is F2 that is going to take zillions of hatchings.
Here are pics of some of my andalusians that are growing up. I have 2 cockerels and 2 pullets that are blue. I also have 2 splash cockerels and one black pullet. I am very happy with them. Of course my black ams from John Blehm are growing nicely. Cant wait to start hatching in the spring!
Edit: lets not forget about the white earlobes.

Sorry that pic is so small. I have the picture larger if anyone would like to see close up detail of the lacing I can email it.

Wow, those are really striking. I know it will be a while before you have chick pictures to share, but I look forward to seeing them.
