I know this is getting off the subject, but years ago I was temped to cross a Cornish with an Ameraucana to see if they would produce a good meat bird like the Cornish Rock crosses.  I didn\'t get around to it, but thought I would call them CornAucanas!  :D

Mike Gilbert:
Barb, I think it depends on the line you are working with.   The Wunderlich bantams were spotted, and yet the males developed no black in the hackles.    So I sure wouldn\'t cull early based on chick down color.

Guest:
A real problem in bantams is the color description on wheaten males is different in the APA and ABA , go a step further and how can you breed a blue wheaten male to match the color desciption if the blue wheaten desciption is for blue red? Chris
