Yea I recognize that and it doesn’t bother me that it’s different, just trying to learn. Thanks!

It didn’t attach the other comparison pics

Hi everyone! I hatched some Ermine Ameraucanas and 3 came out black and yellow. I’m assuming these are “black”. But one is noticeably different. It is less fluffy, has a different pattern on its head, and even stands a little straighter than the others. All eggs were blue but is there any way...
