Thought I\'d put this in a separate thread for discussion, since it\'s really a tangent where originally posted. What do you all think about the below idea?
--------------------------------------------
It would be great to have a central reference place with any established specs (and notes on conditions necessary for producing them) for Ameraucanas to be posted for everyone to be able to review and work from.
Ideas on info to include:
* Ameraucanas must produce true to their color variety X amount of the time.
* The required slate leg color is made up of ____ genes. You can identify correct coloring by _______________.
Etc.
Also info specific to various color varieties would be great, such as:
* Blue X Black = 75% Black, 25% Blue
* Lavender is under development for APA approval in Large Fowl. Estimated date for qualifying meet is 200X.
Etc.
Could a reference section be created on the website for such info? It seems this could facilitate the Ameraucana breed being spread and improved far more quickly and reliably, and it could save MANY people time wandering through less productive efforts.
It would be great if it could be a condensed, edited section of the website rather than a general forum. But that would require some work by a couple designated people.
Perhaps everyone could submit suggestions in as condensed format as they can, and a couple editors could make any needed revisions and add info to the reference center???
