Thank you all!! Very important information.

Lavender not approved?

Lavender not approved?

Large Fowl are recognized, but under the name "self blue"...the APA is living in the past and refuse to step into the 21st century.

I understand, APA doesn't follow breeders very much.
John, do you have records of who created each of the colors? as far as i know you are the one who knows the correct yellow?

Thanks !!
