Title: Toe Nail Color???
Post by: Jean on July 30, 2006, 02:44:22 PM

Hi!

I am doing some culling today and had a question about toe nail color.  There is no definate standard in the book that I can find, so is there any preference on toe nail color?

Thanks,

Jean

The standards don\'t define toe nail color for the Ameraucana and many other breeds.   ONLY if all else is equal would I select for black toenails on blues and blacks.   In about 30 years of breeding I have always had something more important than toe nail color to select for.
