We just got 7 new chicks, 3 of which are ameraucanas. I would like to find out what color of ameraucana they are, but its hard to tell when they are chicks... I have narrowed it down to Silver and Brown Red (hoping for silver!). I posted some pics of what the chicks look like and the colors i think they might be. the chicks are sort of a blonde/brown with dark stripes on their back and lots of markings. does anyone know what color of ameraucana these chicks are?


this is the color of the chicks. they are about 1 week old right now.

here are some adult silver ameraucanas

and an adult brown red ameraucana.

anyone have any idea of what color the chicks might be? if u do, plz let me know! thanks!

I have only one that looks like that. All of her hatchmates are blues, greys, blacks, and dark chocolate. I am curious what it grew up to look like.
 
They are cute! If they’re the hatchery type Easter Eggers—I find predicting Easter Egger colors to be a challenge, but watching them transform as they grow is a fun, slowly revealed surprise!

Not sure if this old thread might help? It may be about purebreds, not sure—there’s at least one poster who’s got purebreds in it:

EDIT: Just realized this is an older thread itself—what color did the birds turn out to be?
