The Ermine Ameraucana
Ermines are a project breed of chicken with a striking white and black plumage pattern like a Dalmatian, who lay blue to blueish green eggs.
Ermine Color Genetics
The color genetics behind this beautiful coloration are based on Dominant White - a unique genetic twist. Ermine coloring is where you have 2 genes, dominant white and black that co-dominate. Dominant white has pigment holes which allow the black to seep through giving the appearance of black polka dots on a white base.
