Welcome back to the Poultry Nerds Podcast! In this episode, we're joined again by Gina from Wrather Farms as we dive deep into the genetics, color varieties, and mislabeling surrounding the Splash Ameraucana. What's the difference between a true Ameraucana vs. Easter Egger? We break it all down – from melanin expression, APA standards, and blue egg genetics to leg color, pea combs, and the reality of chick color at hatch.

You'll also learn the truth about breeding Splash to Splash, the genetic pyramid behind feather coloring, and whether or not those "chipmunk stripe" chicks are really what the hatchery says they are.

Plus — we nerd out on wing banding techniques, color dilution, and using spreadsheets to track flock data like pros. If you're working with Ameraucana chickens, curious about color genetics, or just trying to avoid getting sold an “Americana” imposter, this one’s for you.
