ermine ameraucana chickens for sale

Ermine Ameraucana have a rare and stunning color pattern consisting of solid white plumage scattered with solid black feathers. This pattern results from a single dominant white gene modified by genes that control how much black leaks through. The classic ermine pattern is about 85% white, with the rest consisting of an even sprinkling of black feathers. The proposed SOP now states anything less than 50% black feather’s is acceptable.

When mating ermine to ermine, the chicks will be approximately 50% ermine. Half of the remainder will be solid white and the other half solid black.
