Feather coloring in wheaton Ameraucanas
Christy Rodriguez:
Thank you for your insight. That was a spelling mistake I didn't pay attention to. It is good to hear from people who have different experiences. I have been told the opposite from other breeders. I am working on developing a quality wheaten hen. I appreciate any experience people have. I would agree there is not just one way to accomplish many goals.
Lindsay Helton:
You’re welcome! Since you want to work on creating wheatens, wheaten x wheaten creates 100% wheaten and wheaten x blue wheaten creates 50% wheaten and 50% blue wheaten on average. You can also get wheaten from the cross mentioned above. If you have any photos available, we could help you evaluate them!
Christy Rodriguez:
I am familiar with the breeding and the color as far as just like the BBS. I will definitely post some pictures of them as they grow out to get your opinion on them. I want to get a solid 3, maybe 4 hens to out my self blue with next year. I would like them to be as close as possible to SOP. I'm hatching out more in a few weeks and think I'm going to grow them out more before officially deciding who to keep. It is a great learning experience!
Lindsay Helton:
What are your goals? Are you pursuing an isabel project?
Luanne D’Amico has a nice isabel program going if you don’t want to start from scratch.

Christy Rodriguez:
I am unfortunately aware of her. I was extremely disappointed and have talked to others that had negative experiences with her birds that have purchased from her. I am working on an Isabel breeding project and was hoping to get a few chicks as a starting point for reference. If you know of anyone else I would love to know who else there is.
