How do I create a bantam ameraucana
« on: January 18, 2006, 01:19:30 PM »
Ok, this is probably a dumb question, but what would be the best way to make my own type of bantam ameraucana?  I was guessing to put a specific breed of bantam cock with a an ameraucana hen??    I don\'t really want anything \"show\" material, just a nice smaller version of my \'canas.

To produce very small bantam backyard chickens that lay colored eggs just cross any extra small bantam cock over your hens.    
The \"type\" for Ameraucanas is already defined, so creating something new wouldn\'t be one.  The cross would be what we call an Easter Egg chicken and they are readily available as are bantam Ameraucanas.
Maybe you want to create a new variety of bantam Ameraucana?  If so what variety?
