Breeding / breeding lavender Ameraucana
« on: September 29, 2023, 11:22:24 AM »
Hi there,
just by chance, out of 40 eggs I got 2 hens, which hopefully can be considered as somewhat lavender (pics below). One has a lot's of gold (6 month), the other one seems better in color to be, besides the tail which is covered with sand on the picture (5 month).
I found out in your forum, to go with a black rooster and breed back to the same hen.
So, my question is: Which hen should I go with? And, do I cross back to the mother, or to the other one, in order to have a better better genetic variety? Or with both, so I have 2 lines and see how they grow out?
I’m very thankful for any commend and help!
