Beth, this is one great post! It really goes to prove that a picture truly is worth a thousand words. If you are a member of BYC, I think it would be a great idea to post this under the \"Ameraucana\" thread.
It really drives home the point and I think would help a whole lot of people when they\'re asking about egg color.
I don\'t know if y\'all have heard but there is an auction going on BYC right now for SIX eggs and it is already up to $200. Now in no way do I think that the person selling the eggs has tried to mislead anyone in anyway whatsoever but the picture on the auction page does show eggs very much like yours in the 1st, 3rd, and 4th pics.
Honestly, I know I\'ve improved the egg color on some of my eggs but they still don\'t make it to what I\'c call \"Robin Egg Blue\" which is a term I see a lot.
I guess I\'m just a bit concerned that there may be a lot of novices not familiar with the breed who may become disappointed and/or discouraged in the breed enough to not have them because they can\'t see what may not even be achievable.
I hope that makes sense. Anyways, I really do think it would be a great educational and information post if you put that on BYC, Beth.
God Bless,
